In scathing criticism, Prime Minister Netanyahu blamed world powers and the United Nations who, all too often, readily condemn Israel for defending itself against terror attacks, for hypocritically remaining silent after Israel recently came under rocket fire from Gaza.
At the start of Sunday’s government cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Israel holds Hamas responsible for all firing from the Gaza Strip at our territory. I have not heard anyone in the international community condemn this firing; neither has the UN said a word. It will be interesting if this silence continues when we use our full strength to uphold our right to defend ourselves. Let it be clear: The spreading hypocrisy in the world will not tie our hands and prevent us from protecting Israel’s citizens. Thus we have acted; thus we will act.
