Gantz: No political move justifies taking fight public; Bennett thanks Biden for supporting Israel in last Gaza war
Benjamin Netanyahu compared US President Joe Biden administration’s planned return to the Iran deal to US neglect of European Jews during the Holocaust, in his final speech as prime minister on Sunday.“
