Netanyahu: Hamas attacked because it wants us dead, ‘not because of any internal argument’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Hamas launched its deadly assault on Israel “because it wants to kill all of us and not because of any internal argument,” after seeming to suggest that protests by reserve soldiers against the judicial overhaul were a factor in the Gaza-ruling terror group’s decision to attack.

“Together, all of Israeli society, we will win,” Minister Benny Gantz tweets in response after demanding Netanyahu retract his earlier comments.
