Following backlash and his apology for a tweet blaming security chiefs for Hamas’s October 7 massacre, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has “full confidence” in the leadership of security officials.
“I have to say that we are giving full confidence in the approach and the leadership of the IDF chief,” he says in public comments at the start of a cabinet meeting.
Netanyahu says that the most important thing “is a union of forces,” pointing to the emergency war government and saying that “the nation is united now in a way that it has never been.”
