Netanyahu tells Biden: We’ve never seen such savagery in the history of the state

In a readout of his call with Biden, Netanyahu’s office says he told the US leader: “We’ve never seen such savagery in the history of the state” nor “since the Holocaust.”

“They took dozens of children, bound them up, burned them and executed them. They beheaded soldiers, they mowed down these youngsters who came to a nature festival, you know, put five jeeps around this depression in the soil and like Babyn Yar, they mowed them down, making sure that they killed everybody.”

“They’re even worse than ISIS and we need to treat them as such.”

He thanked Biden for his full backing and stressed the campaign would be lengthy.

He also noted White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby’s emotional response to the events in Israel, saying it “deeply moved” Israelis and “represented the depth of the commitment that you have, that your administration has and that the American people across the people have for Israel.”
