Israel's actions in Rafah should have happened four months ago, rather than wavering on going into the southern Gaza city, as that was a 'big mistake,' Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Sunday.
Israel 's actions in Rafah should have happened four months ago, rather than wavering on going into the southern Gaza city, as that was a "big mistake," Former Israel i Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Sunday.
Israeli tanks rolled into eastern Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip early Sunday, while continuing to increase pressure on Rafah, described by Israeli officials as a stronghold for the Hamas militants. Meanwhile, Israeli Cabinet Minister-without-Portfolio Benny Gantz has called for the country's elections to be moved up to September, and protesters hit the streets in Tel Aviv this weekend, also calling for early elections, but Bennett wouldn't comment on whether he is considering challenging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Bennett also spoke out about the fears of civilian casualties in an invasion of Rafah, which President Joe Biden has cited while warning that the United States will not supply weapons for an attack on the Gazan city.
