During a recent interview, Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the tragic events that have unfolded in Gaza, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between the actions of Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). He condemned Hamas for their abhorrent tactics, including the refusal to return hostages and the deliberate endangerment of innocent Palestinians, particularly women and children.
Netanyahu acknowledged the devastating loss of civilian lives in Gaza but stressed that every effort is made by the IDF to minimize casualties. He highlighted that Hamas uses civilians as shields, preventing them from leaving battle zones and deliberately inflating casualty numbers for propaganda purposes.
