In a video posted on social media, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has criticized the “petty policy” being carried out by some coalition members and called for unity to defeat Hamas and bring back hostages. Netanyahu emphasized the importance of focusing solely on the tasks at hand, including defeating Hamas, rescuing hostages, and ensuring the safe return of fellow citizens. He warned that internal differences within the coalition only serve to endanger the ongoing battle against Israel’s enemies.
This criticism comes after Netanyahu’s party, Likud, accused National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir of leaking state secrets after reports surfaced that Netanyahu had proposed a security briefing in exchange for support on a controversial bill.
Netanyahu urged all coalition partners to set aside partisan interests and work together to address the challenges facing Israel. He emphasized that prioritizing national interests over partisan politics is essential in order to successfully navigate the challenges ahead and effectively confront threats facing Israel.
