“The government, under my leadership, will restore calm and security to our country,” Israel’s prime minister said on Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in domestic difficulty, promised Monday evening to “restore security” in his country after yet another outbreak of violence in the Middle East and two new deaths in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Benjamin Netanyahu also announced that he had reconsidered his decision announced at the end of March to dismiss his Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, who had publicly been moved by the division caused in the country by the justice reform project wanted by the government, and had requested a pause in the process.
“Restore calm and security”
While violence between Israelis and Palestinians has been on an inexorable rise since the beginning of the year, after the inauguration of Benjamin Netanyahu at the end of December at the head of one of the most right-wing governments in the history of Israel, the conflict has taken on a broader dimension in recent days.
Deadly attacks, rocket attacks from Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, followed by Israeli reprisals: the region has been plagued by a wave of violence since the brutal irruption, on April 5, in the middle of Ramadan, of the police in Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third holiest site.
“The government, under my leadership, will restore calm and security to our country,” Benjamin Netanyahu said. “We are acting on all fronts,” he said.
‘I promise you, we will reach out to all the vile terrorists who have killed our citizens and they will be held to account, without exception,’ PM says after shock in Israel over deaths of three family members in an attack on Friday in the northern occupied West Bank.
