'Only ones being deliberately starved in Gaza are our hostages,' says Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his decision to order the Israeli military to attack Hamas’ last two strongholds in the Gaza Strip, amid a continuing storm of international criticism of the move.

In a rare press conference with global media, Netanyahu stressed that the goal of the operation would be to free Gaza from the Hamas terror group and to free the Israeli hostages.

Welcoming the chance to “puncture the lies and tell the truth,” the prime minister pointed out that Hamas continues to subjugate Gazans, saying the terror group “steals their food, it shoots them when they try to move to safe zones,” but added that many Gazans are now fighting back.

“They're begging the world: ‘Free us. Free us, and free Gaza from Hamas,’” Netanyahu told the foreign journalists.

1) Netanyahu has effectively squandered whatever "moral capital" Israel had acquired resulting from the HAMAS attack on October 7th - given the size of the recent protests being conducted by his own citizens why should the rest of the world believe a leader who haS such little support in his own country?

2) Netanyahu only retains power by appeasing those fringe, ultra-right Orthodox groups who are demanding more military action in Gaza - what goes unreported is that only the sons and daughters of the more moderate secular Jews are subject to conscription!

3) Meanwhile the sons and daughter of the much more ,militant Orthodox minority who have promoted the war and havor the military occupation of Gaza, are doing so with the full knowledge that members of their families are themselves exempt from Israel's military draft and it won't be their lives that are being disrupted and placed at risk!

4) Given that Netanyahu faces pending criminal charges should he relinquish his role as Prime Minister, provides additional personal reasons as to why he should satisfy the demands of this Orthodox minority, at the expense of the secular majority - who are openly questioning as to why their sons and daughters who have already been subjected to literally years of active service, forced to place their lives at risk in a war with no end in sight and which much of the nation no longer supports!
