Fmr Israeili PM: "It's Unacceptable...To See Netanyahu Keep Leading This War” | Amanpour and Company

Published 2024-03-04
Conditions are desperate in Gaza. One of its main cemeteries has no more space to bury the dead, according to its caretaker. A Palestinian-American doctor in Rafah says the healthcare system is "completely destroyed." Meanwhile, Israel refuses to send a delegation to Cairo for ceasefire talks with Egyptian, Qatari and U.S. mediators. Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz has flown to Washington for meetings at the White House with the Vice President and senior Biden administration officials. Gantz is also a member of Netanyahu’s war cabinet. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has been a prominent critic of the Israeli government’s handling of this war and recently called for early general elections in Israel. He joins the show from Tel Aviv.

    You know what else is unacceptable? Being an apartheid colonizer state in this day and age.

    It's not a "war", it's Genocide. And it's unacceptable to see ANYONE leading a genocide.

    The reason they aren't talking about a day after is because the day after that they've imagined would be utterly despicable, and the world would never agree to it.

    The relationship between the U.S. and Israel is one-sided. The U.S. gives and Israel takes. There’s no benefit for the U.S. and the U.S. has little meaningful leverage over the far-right Israeli government of Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. Such blind U.S. support for Israel in military, financial and UNSC Veto vote is detrimental to U.S. diplomatic support in the global community.
