My only problem with Netanyahu is that he has failed to finish off Hamas when he had them on the ropes. Leaving Hamas in Gaza guarantees the next war, the next massacre, and it guarantees the continued violent repression by Hamas gangsters of the civilian Gazans.
Netanyahu allowed Hamas to be funded prior to October 7 because he needed them as a foil for the PLO. (Palestinian Liberation Organization led by Mahmoud Abbas) And destroying Hamas now - still leaves the PLO in the picture - and they are considered by the world to actually be legitimate, unlike Hamas.
Abbas and Pope Leo just met yesterday in fact.
So really instead of saying “finish off Hamas” be more up front about what you mean. It likely means more…
