Speaking to dozens of foreign ambassadors in Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel’s war against Hamas “is not a local battle.”
“Our victory is your victory,” he says.
“If the Middle East falls to the axis of terror, Europe will be next,” Netanyahu warns. “And no one will be safe.”
Netanyahu returns to themes he has used in recent weeks, calling the fight a “broader battle between civilization and barbarism.”
“The barbarism is led by a broader axis of terror,” he says. “The axis of terror is led by Iran. It includes Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis and their other minions. They seek to bring the Middle East and the world back to a dark age. They seek to torpedo, to derail any progress toward peace.”
Netanyahu says that after Israel destroys Hamas, it will offer the people of Gaza “a real future, a future of promise and hope.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
