Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday evening during a lengthy press conference that after the execution of six Israeli hostages by Hamas last week just days after brokers were determining final details for a hostage release deal, the international community must direct its pressure toward Hamas, not Israel.
In reference to a remark by US President Joe Biden earlier in the day, saying Netanyahu had not done enough to reach a deal, the prime minister told reporters, “After a terrible massacre, to change the angle and place the blame on Israel? I can’t believe he said that.” We deeply mourn the senseless loss of six more lives at the hand of the brutal Hamas.
We believe it since Biden and his band of Israel haters will do anything to save face, more so now since one of the six hostages murdered in captivity over the weekend was an American. Even as we deeply mourn the senseless loss of six more lives at the hand of the brutal Hamas, we know that Netanyahu is right in that the scales of pressure must tip the other way toward Hamas – preferably like a sledge hammer. Between Biden’s inane comment and the media incorrectly reporting or ignoring the truth about potential hostage deals and hostage “deaths”, the weight wrongly remains on Israel.
