OR Hamas accused the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu For the “lies” he said at a press conference on Sunday (10.08.2025), where he presented his plan for Israel’s victory over the organization in Gaza.
“Benjamin are neatan, he continues to lie, deceive and try to mislead the public. Everything he said at the press conference is a series of lies, and he cannot deal with the truth. Instead, she is trying to falsify her and hide her, “Taher al-Nunu, a press adviser to the head of Hamas’ political office, told AFP.
Benjamin Netanyahu, for his part, had stated that he did not want to understand Gaza, but to “liberate it from Hamas”, accusing his critics of “a world campaign”.
His press conference was held in the midst of an increasing contrast within Israel to his plans to expand the war in Gaza, with the families of the remaining hostages calling on a general strike and the soldiers to refuse to fight.
However, with the approval of the “occupation” plan of the city of Gaza on Friday (08.08.2025), Israel enters a new phase of the war. Despite the opposition of the General Staff and senior security officials, this decision allows Benjamin Netanyahu to maintain the fragile unity of his coalition, while at the same time projecting a harsh attitude that serves him against his partners.
Benjamin Netanyahu also sought to save time with this decision – a breath in his domestic political battle against growing diplomatic pressures and frozen negotiations to release hostages.
Thus, according to the analysis of the progressive Israeli newspaper Haaretz, it is likely that this move will eventually turn against him, as members of the cabinet are on the verge of leaving the government coalition.
