נתניהו על ההצעה שקיבל: "אני חשבתי שזה יהיה אסון"

הערכה

Prime Minister Netanyahu is publicly explaining his reasoning for rejecting a proposed hostage release deal that would have required an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, framing it as a capitulation to Hamas. He is positioning himself as standing firm against what he considered a catastrophic outcome, while arguing that victory requires combining intense military pressure with diplomatic effort directed at the United States. This statement appears aimed at reassuring his political base that he did not compromise on core security principles.
