Amichay Eliyahu’s comments came amid growing hunger in the territory, where Israel controls the delivery of food.

Amid rising starvation in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli government minister said on Thursday that Israel had no duty to alleviate hunger in the territory and was seeking to expel its population.

    Rabin was murdered by a Likud guy with Mossad ties after Netanyahu and others depicted Rabin as a new Hitler. Subsequently Netanyahu took over government for a few years.

    The majority of Israelis evidently was against it. After all they backed the murderers of Rabin.

      He “took over government for a few years” because Rabin was murdered?

      Sounds like you’re very eager to leave out a few small details here and there lol

      edit for those interested: Peres was up 60-40 in the polls 2 months before the election, until Hamas’ massive bombing campaign managed to turn that around into a 49.5-50.5 loss on election day. Posters like Saleh are so heavily invested in pushing for polarization that they are more than willing to lie about the history that led us here

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-sixth_government_of_Israel

        The twenty-sixth government of Israel was formed by Shimon Peres of the Labor Party on 22 November 1995, following the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin on 4 November. Peres kept the same coalition as previously, namely the Labor Party, Meretz and Yiud, which together held only 58 of the 120 seats in the Knesset. However, the government was also supported, but not joined, by Hadash and the Arab Democratic Party, which held an additional five seats between them.[1]

        Although the Labor Party won the May 1996 Knesset elections, Peres was narrowly defeated by Binyamin Netanyahu in the country’s first election for Prime Minister, meaning that the Likud leader formed the twenty-seventh government, which he completed on 18 June.

        The twenty-seventh government of Israel was formed by Benjamin Netanyahu of Likud on 18 June 1996. Although his Likud-Gesher-Tzomet alliance won fewer seats than Labor, Netanyahu formed the government after winning the country’s first ever direct election for Prime Minister, narrowly defeating incumbent Shimon Peres.

        Together with Likud-Gesher-Tzomet, Netanyahu also included Shas, the National Religious Party, Yisrael BaAliyah, United Torah Judaism and the Third Way in the government, with the coalition holding 66 of the 120 seats in the Knesset.[1] The government was also supported, but not joined, by the two-seat Moledet faction. Gesher left the coalition on 6 January 1998, but the government remained in place until 6 July 1999, when Ehud Barak formed the twenty-eighth government after defeating Netanyahu in the 1999 election for Prime Minister.
