The Israel Resilience party releases a series of campaign videos attacking Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his dealings with Hamas and Israel’s 2005 disengagement from Gaza Strip.
One of the videos is set against the backdrop of Israeli civilians in Gaza-adjacent communities rushing to bomb shelters with sirens blaring. “Netanyahu pays Hamas murders $15 million every month in cash,” the text on the screen says. “In return, southern residents have been targeted with hundreds of rockets, arson kites and firebombs that have burned tens of thousands of dunams of land.
“We will not abandon southern residents,” the video says.
In another clip the party, led by former IDF chief Benny Gantz, rips into Netanyahu and other top Likud officials over their support for the 2005 disengagement.
“Israel Katz forcibly evicted Jews, Tzachi Hanegbi forcibly evicted Jews, Yuval Steinitz forcibly evicted Jews, Netanyahu forcibly evacuated Jews,” the video says. “That’s not how to make peace.”
In an accompanying Facebook post, the party publishes a list of phone numbers belonging to Netanyahu and other Likud ministers, and called on the public to forward them the campaign videos.
