“Don’t feed the crocodile because it will come after you after it devours Israel," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed to European leaders after emphasising “the onus is on Hamas” to accept the US-brokered deal and return the hostages it still holds, in an exclusive Euronews interview on Sunday.
The Israeli premier spoke to Euronews just days before the two-year anniversary of the 7 October 2023 attack on southern Israel, when Hamas-led militants killed 1,200 people and took around 250 hostage.
