"Israel Did Not Seek This War"
(Politico) Israeli President Isaac Herzog interviewed by Felicia Schwartz - Israeli President Isaac Herzog said: "Is Israel a strategic ally? Yes. Is Israel contributing to American national interests, security interests? Absolutely yes. Is Israel a beacon of democracy in the Middle East? Absolutely yes." "We are faced by a very aggressive PR [machine], which is also supported by allies of Hamas, which is over-inflated around the world....In order to rebuild Gaza, you have to get the mob out of the city. We have to get the terrorists out of the city." "All I'm asking is for fair reporting, not fake reporting, and not something superficial. You cannot just buy a TikTok message, which you know immediately blames Israel, without understanding what's behind it. We are operating in self-defense according to international law and we are trying to defend our citizens." "There are billions of dollars poured into this brainwashing machine which doesn't want to tell the real truth. And we may be all alone, but we will keep on saying the truth: We did not seek this war. We did not want this war." "Millions of Israelis really want to get to peace. What Israelis really want is to change the reality so that there will be a future of peace and tranquility for Gaza and for Israel; that is what needs to be achieved. It requires everybody not to be naive, because Hamas is still there believing that only terror can achieve this and we have to make it clear to them that it's out and over for them."
