Gantz says Netanyahu’s government being held ‘captive’ by Hamas
Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz comes out swinging against Prime Minister Netanyahu’s policy toward the Gaza Strip, after a barrage of rockets is fired from the Palestinian enclave at Israel.
“The Israeli government is a captive of Hamas,” Gantz writes on Twitter. “[Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya] Sinwar is extorting Netanyahu and he is paying him in dollars of cash.”
“That’s how it is in the Middle East. Whoever doesn’t initiate, gets it,” Gantz adds.
