At the start of his cabinet meeting he referred to his attacks on Gaza and said they would continue despite international pressure. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today (17.03.24) that the country’s allies have a short memory of Hamas’ attack on 7 October, and that Israel will insist with its attack on despite increasing international pressure. “To our friends in the international community I say: is your memory so short? So quickly did you forget about October 7th, the worst massacre ever committed against Jews after the Holocaust?” Netanyahu said. Hamas militants killed 1,200 people and arrested 253 hostages in the October 7 attack, according to Israeli accounts, sparking a massive attack on Gaza. “So quickly are you ready to deny Israel the right to defend itself against Hamas monsters?” the Israeli Prime Minister reiterated. Netanyahu reiterated that Israel will insist with its attack on Gaza, including the city of Rafa, while removing civilians from combat zones.
