Israel's Defense Minister Speaks Out

NPR is reporting that "On his last day as Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant told family members of the Israeli hostages in Gaza that the Israeli military had achieved all of its objectives in Gaza and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was responsible for holding up a ceasefire deal that would end the war and get the remaining hostages home." Yeah, we know.

"Netanyahu fired Gallant last week, saying that trust between them had eroded and that significant differences had emerged between himself and Gallant about how to proceed in the war in Gaza." Netanyahu is a bad man. There would be no hostages without Netanyahu's help.
