Netanyahu Acknowledges Arming Anti-Hamas Clans in Gaza

Prime Minister Netanyahu defends Israel's strategy of equipping factions opposed to Hamas, facing rising criticism from political adversaries.


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has openly confirmed that Israel is supplying arms to Gaza clans that oppose Hamas. This controversial decision has sparked backlash from political foes, with accusations that Netanyahu is jeopardizing national security.

In a recent video, Netanyahu stated, "What's wrong with this? It only saves the lives of Israeli soldiers," insisting that the publication of these actions only serves to aid Hamas. Reports have emerged that weapons, specifically Kalashnikov rifles, have been authorized for transfer to a group led by Yasser Abu Shabab, who claims to protect humanitarian aid shipments but has been accused of looting them. Critics, including opposition leader Avigdor Lieberman, have condemned the move as reckless, suggesting that Netanyahu acted without proper government endorsement. Despite denials from Abu Shabab regarding Israeli weapons support, the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with significant humanitarian crises looming. Meanwhile, calls for security and proper governance in conflict zones remain critical as domestic and international scrutiny intensifies over Israel's tactics in the volatile region.
