In his address to the Knesset, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has started learning from the failures that led to Hamas’s deadly infiltration on October 7.
“The reasons for the disaster that occurred will be investigated… and we have started drawing conclusions,” he says.
Calling on the world to unite to defeat Hamas, Netanyahu issues a stark warning to Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group and to Iran: “Don’t try us, you will be severely harmed.”
