Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday after undergoing surgery for a hernia overnight Sunday.
“I am now being discharged from Hadassah-Ein Kerem Hospital, which had become my office in the past day,” Netanyahu said. “We continued to work even from here.”
“I would like to thank Professor Pikarsky and the wonderful Hadassah-Ein Kerem medical team that successfully operated on my hernia. I would also like to thank the masses of Israeli citizens for sending me your best wishes for recovery. I am recovering. Thank you.”
Netanyahu then spoke about the accidental killing of seven humanitarian workers in Gaza. “Unfortunately, in the past day, there was a tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed non-combatants in the Gaza Strip. This happens in war. We are conducting a thorough inquiry and are in contact with the governments. We will do everything to prevent a recurrence.”

Israel can’t get out of it’s own way. What a disaster!! Hamas just won; game over.
Natenyahu shouldnt be sorry for this. any ‘worker’ for Hamas has one main goal in life to kill the jews
Yussel-even though you’re joking, no need to sound so pessimistic.
Yeshivaguy45: Who said I was joking? This is a PR disaster for Israel and has given Hamas a huge victory. It is getting increasingly difficult for Israel to argue that it’s military actions are justified, as the bodies pile up higher and higher. And now we can throw civilian humanitarian workers into the mix. Very bad
Totally irresponsible behavior. This happens when nut jobs like Ben Gvir get high positions in the govt. I find it harder and harder to support Israel, unless they start behaving like normal ppl and stop the reckless policies they are doing

Sensibleyid: Are you really that stupid? WCK doesn’t “work for Hamas”. They are one of the most respected NGOs in the world and have provided humanitarian assistance under the most difficult circumstances. This will be the “last straw” for the few friends EY had left in the world and will likely result in even the U.S. curtailing its support for Netanyahu’s military effort.
