Benjamin Netanyahu tells Israel Radio that the internet is being used as a tool by those who seek to incite against the Jewish state.
“We are fighting the current wave [of violence], which is not a wave of rockets, it is a wave of knives,” the PM tells northern radio station Kol Rega. “It is a meeting of the radical Islam and the internet. The internet facilitates the individuals who are doing the inciting.”
He says that despite the high level of frustration over the near daily attacks, the security situation in Israel is better than that in its neighbors.
“We are surrounded by extremist Islam, which will also infiltrate us,” he warns. “But relative to the entire region, the situation in Israel is very good. Ours is a strong country, with a strong people, a strong army and a will of iron.”
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.
