Herzog says keeping civilians safe ‘always a significant factor’
“The IDF is a moral military and I don’t need any international report or commission to know this,” says Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog, speaking in reference to the UN report on last summer’s conflict.. “While for Hamas killing innocents is the main goal, I can say from my own experience in many cabinet meetings that the question of hurting noncombatants is always on the table and a very significant consideration in operational decisions.”
“The one thing we must do when it comes to Gaza is prevent the next round. For this we must support an initiative that will bring the demilitarization and restoration of Gaza,” he adds.
