Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu remarks at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv
"We did everything in our power to prevent civilian casualties while trying to attack the combatants who are trying to murder our citizens. We regret every loss of life, but there is no army in the world that acts in a more moral fashion than the IDF"
Israel didn’t initiate this conflict, was attacked in an unprovoked manner by the Hamas terrorist organization that fired four thousand rockets into the capital and into the cities. No country will sit aside when it’s attacked in such a criminal fashion. Israel is no different.
But Israel did do something different. Israel fighting terrorists who are hiding among civilians in one of the most densely populated places on earth. They were firing rockets on the civilians while using their civilians as human shields. They did everything in their power to prevent civilian casualties, unnecessary casualties of non-combatants while trying to attack the combatants who are trying to murder the citizens. Israel regret every loss of life, but PM can tell categorically, there is no army in the world that acts in a more moral fashion than the army of Israel.
PM want to thank President Joe Biden, a friend of many years, who stood by Israel throughout this conflict. He expressed clearly, unreservedly, America’s support for Israel’s right of self-defence. And PM also grateful to President Biden for offering to help replenish the stocks of missile interceptors. That’s so important to save Israeli lives, and coincidentally, Palestinian lives. Without Iron Dome, Israel would have had to have a ground invasion of Gaza to stop them from firing their missiles and the casualty list would have soared to stratospheric heights.
Thanking President Biden, and thanks too for the many leaders around the world who have stood by Israel. They know how to distinguish so clearly between a democracy that cherishes life and a terrorist organization that glorifies death. PM think that distinction and that support is crucial for the common future.
