In a recent press briefing with reporters, Israeli President Isaac Herzog made a series of controversial remarks regarding the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
When questioned about the humanitarian impact of the conflict on the over two million civilians in Gaza, Herzog’s tone shifted from sadness to anger, asserting that the entire population of Gaza bears some responsibility for the situation.
“We are working, operating militarily, according to rules of international law, period. Unequivocally,” Herzog stated.
“It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true.”
