In a new book, the former US secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton hits out at Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, for taking “zero responsibility” for the surprise attack by Hamas on 7 October last year.
“In an important way, Netanyahu is nothing like [Golda] Meir,” Clinton writes, referring to the Israeli prime minister who was in power when Egypt attacked in 1973, and whom Clinton says she admired for the way she “mixed humor and gravitas”.
