In fiery speech to Congress, Netanyahu vows 'total victory' in Gaza and denounces U.S. protesters
He specifically said in this speech that Israel would not resettle Gaza
He was lying. That’s like breathing to fascists anywhere in the world, but especially the ones in Israel. If you like podcasts, I recommend you check out Bad Hasbara for hundreds of clear examples of this.
It’s maybe the first time we’ve seen him directly oppose the radical wing of his government that has advocated for it.
He IS part of that radical wing when it comes to Gaza. What the fuck do you think he means by “total victory”?
Hitler: I want that thing! UK: nooooOOOO—All right you can have that but no more. Hitler: I want that thing!

He specifically said in this speech that Israel would not resettle Gaza.
And you believed him?
I believe it was a politically risky statement for him to make explicitly.
If he alienates his Right Wing, they could dismantle the government and force elections at will. In the past he has used vague statements or diversions to avoid making public statements that could pose political risks to him. No one was demanding an answer on the issue (and he left out plenty of issues that US lawmakers HAVE demanded to know about).
The better question is: Why would he take the risk of saying it at all?
