During his press conference on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the leaked recordings in which he was heard criticizing Qatar, and commented: "I won't take back a single word I said. Qatar hosts the leaders of Hamas, finances Hamas and has leverage over Hamas. They place themselves as mediators, so let them prove themselves and in the meantime bring the medicine to the hostages. »

Netanyahu harshly criticized South Africa, which submitted the lawsuit against Israel to the International Court of Justice, saying: "In whose name did they come? In the name of Hamas, in the name of the new Nazis. »

Netanyahu presented Hitler's Mein Kampf book in Arabic, and said, "our soldiers found this book in the homes of civilians in Gaza, this is what they are educating their children. After we eliminate Hamas in Gaza, there will be no person who educates his children to destroy Israel and the Jewish people."
