Netanyahu said in an interview with Bild newspaper, in response to the criticism directed at Trump: “If the American president believes that I am pursuing a personal policy against the wishes of the Israelis and harming the interests of my country, then he is wrong in both cases.” Joe Biden called him out, saying his actions “do more good than harm” and asking him to “pay more attention to the plight of the Palestinians.”
He added that the Israelis “support the steps we are taking to destroy the remaining Hamas factions because they realize that if we do not do it now, they will.” We will have a repeat of the October 7 massacre That would be bad for both Israelis and Palestinians and for peace in the Middle East,” Netanyahu continued, also rejecting international criticism of plans to attack Rafah. “We are very close to victory.
