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."
The latest round of U.S.-facilitated talks between Israel and Lebanon began on Tuesday in Rome and will continue through Thursday, State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said.
Qatar said mediators were making progress in efforts to end the U.S.-Iran war on Tuesday, driving oil prices lower, although Tehran has denied President Donald Trump's assertion that talks are already under way.
Iran said on Monday there were no talks under way with the United States and no plans for any meetings, contradicting U.S. President Donald Trump, who had cited talks he said would take place that afternoon as justification for calling off attacks.
