Prime Minister Netanyahu said Tuesday evening in a Channel 14 interview that he does not rule out Jewish settlement in Gaza, stating 'we must act wisely.' He also confirmed the judicial overhaul will continue, left the door open to another strike on Iran, and said he wants a broad pardon to end his trial and 'unite the people.'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a series of substantive political statements in an interview on Channel 14's 'The Patriots' Tuesday evening, touching on settlement policy, the judicial overhaul, Iran, and his legal situation.
Asked about Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu declined to rule it out, saying Israel must 'act wisely' — a formulation that leaves the option open without a formal commitment, as The Zioneer reported in its earlier bulletin from the same interview. He also stated definitively that the judicial overhaul will continue, adding 'does anyone not understand these corrections are needed?'
On security policy, Netanyahu said that if necessary, Israel will strike Iran again — a statement that follows a period of heightened tensions and reported Israeli operations against Iranian targets. On his ongoing trial, he said he wants a pardon 'to end the trial' and 'unite the people.'
The interview covered multiple ongoing fronts: Gaza, Iran, domestic reform, and Netanyahu's personal legal battle. No single policy decision was announced, but the Prime Minister left the door open on several contentious issues.
