Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett expressed concerns over the pace of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, suggesting that the war is being conducted too slowly. Bennett emphasized the importance of decisive continuity in warfare, stating that victories are achieved through consistent pressure on the enemy.
Addressing speculations about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's motivations in prolonging the conflict, Bennett refrained from making direct accusations but underscored the need for swift and effective military action. He highlighted the successful evacuation of civilians from Rafah as evidence of Israel's capabilities to act decisively when necessary.
In response to questions about the U.S.'s support for Israel amid escalating tensions, Bennett expressed deep respect for President Biden and emphasized the importance of the longstanding friendship between the two nations. He noted that Israel had taken steps to cut off Hamas's ammunition supply by sealing the border with Egypt, indicating that time was running out for the militant group.
Bennett's remarks underscored the urgency of the situation and called for a rapid and decisive conclusion to the conflict. He emphasized the need to increase pressure on Hamas leader Yigit Sanwar to secure the release of hostages and achieve a swift resolution to the conflict.
