Leader of the Opposition
@YairLapid
:
“The fact that the ICJ did not even directly connect the end of the military operation in Rafah to the release of the hostages and to Israel's right to defend itself against terror is an abject moral failure.”
העובדה שביהמ״ש בהאג לא קשר בפסיקה שלו בין הפסקת הלחימה ברפיח להחזרת החטופים וזכותה של ישראל להגן על עצמה מפני טרור- היא מפולת מוסרית ואסון ערכי.
ישראל זו שהותקפה באופן ברוטלי מעזה ונאלצה להגן על עצמה מול ארגון טרור מזוויע שרצח ילדים, אנס נשים ויורה עדיין רקטות על אזרחים תמימים.
