<\/a>Netanyahu confronts the eighth front: The global war of lies<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nFiamma Nirenstein<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not known for seeking out journalists, especially not the foreign press corps that has, for years, attacked him personally and politically while accusing Israel of the worst imaginable crimes. But on August 10, he broke form.<\/span><\/p>\n In flawless English and with his trademark communicative vigor,\u00a0Netanyahu<\/a>\u00a0met face-to-face in Jerusalem with representatives of the very media outlets that have turned Gaza into a theater of blood libels and the IDF into their chief villain.<\/span><\/p>\n The reason? To take the fight directly to the \u201ceighth front\u201d of the war\u2014the avalanche of disinformation that has become as dangerous as rockets or tunnels. Since Israel announced its expanded operations in Gaza, anti-Israel activists and complicit journalists have gleefully called it an \u201coccupation,\u201d reviving the same tired propaganda Hamas has relied on for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n Palestinian leaders openly admit this is their greatest weapon. Fatah\u2019s\u00a0Jibril Rajoub<\/a>\u00a0called Oct. 7, 2023, \u201cthe Palestinian Holocaust\u2014our winning card.\u201d Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad boasted, \u201cThe whole world is now against Israel, accused of genocide and ethnic cleansing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Netanyahu knows the stakes. As he spoke, he faced a storm at home: Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich threatening to quit, hostage families calling for a nationwide strike, and critics accusing him\u2014yet again\u2014of political opportunism, corruption, even \u201cfascism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Yet he pressed forward with a single message while blasting the international media\u2019s malicious caricature of Israel as a cruel, warmongering Jewish state: Israel will dismantle Hamas and rescue its hostages.<\/span><\/p>\n He forcefully rejected the lies that Israel uses hunger as a weapon of war, seeks to destroy an entire people or wages battle out of some \u201cperfidious\u201d national instinct. On the contrary, he reminded the press that Israel has allowed in two million tons of food into Gaza\u2014aid Hamas seized and the United Nations failed to distribute.<\/span><\/p>\n He stressed that Israel\u2019s goal is not occupation but security\u2014handing civil power in Gaza to trustworthy Arab partners, not to the corrupt Palestinian Authority or genocidal Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cContrary to false claims, this is the best way to end the war and the best way to end it speedily,\u201d\u00a0 he insisted. Seventy-five percent of Gaza is already under IDF control, with Hamas holding only Gaza City and the central refugee camps. Israel is pushing civilians to safe zones before final operations.<\/span><\/p>\n And he made one thing clear: The Palestinians have never wanted a state of their own that we offered since 1948\u2014they only seek Israel\u2019s destruction.\u201dThe Palestinians were offered a state many times, including in the partition resolution and they turned it down,\u201d he said. \u201cThey were offered statehood by my predecessors, with lavish, lavish concessions. They turned it down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Netanyahu\u2019s analogy was stark: You would not have left the Nazis in Berlin in 1945; neither will Israel leave Hamas in Gaza in 2025. His strategic vision extends beyond Gaza, toward the defeat of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime\u2014with the backing of the United States.<\/p>\n Despite political fractures at home and the anguish of hostage families, Netanyahu is betting on a larger transformation\u2014a postwar Middle East in which Israel survives not by begging for sympathy but by winning decisive victories. The foreign press may not want to hear it, but for Israel, victory is not optional.<\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> .
