Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the recent developments in negotiations with Hamas during a live interview from Jerusalem. Netanyahu clarified that despite reports suggesting a potential agreement with Hamas, the deal fell through due to what he described as outlandish demands from the militant group.
Netanyahu emphasized that the conflict with Hamas is not just a local issue but a battle between civilization and barbarism. He highlighted the threat posed by the Iran terror axis, which views both Israel and the United States as adversaries. Netanyahu urged the international community, particularly the 'civilized community,' to support Israel in its fight against what he termed 'barbarians.'
