Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sharply criticized world leaders who he says are spreading lies and seeking to isolate Israel. Speaking at a state memorial ceremony for soldiers and security personnel killed since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, Netanyahu stated that Israel's war is necessary for its survival and is justified. He directly addressed foreign critics, saying, "It is the truth. And you should be ashamed of your lies." Netanyahu also asserted that Israel's actions are not just protecting its own citizens but also those of its critics, adding, "The truth is that we are also protecting you." He praised the high morale of Israeli soldiers, emphasizing that they are expected to be not only professional but also morally upright, a requirement he deemed paramount and rooted in the army's core values.
Separately, Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir called for a full investigation into the October 7 Hamas attack. Zamir stated that Israel must thoroughly examine the events of that day to draw conclusions and apply the lessons learned moving forward. In remarks marking the third anniversary of the attack, Zamir honored the memory of civilians, soldiers, security personnel, and rescue workers who perished. He also specifically mentioned Israelis who were abducted during the attack and subsequently died in captivity.
