The cooperation between Netanyahu’s government and the opposition stems from the large-scale attack that terrorist movement Hamas launched from the Gaza Strip on Saturday. Hundreds of people have been killed on both sides in the ongoing battle.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu has announced “strong retaliation for this black day” against Hamas. “Hamas has started a cruel and evil war. We will win that war, but the price is too heavy to bear,” he said. “Hamas wants to kill us all. This is an enemy that kills mothers and children in their homes, in their beds. An enemy that kidnaps the elderly, children, teenage girls.”
