    Netanyahu claimed foreign leaders who “public condemn us privately thank us. They tell me how much they value Israel’s superb intelligence services that have prevented, time and again, terrorist attacks in their capitals.” He did not say which countries’ leaders had privately thanked him.

    “So Benjamin, are those leaders in the room with us right now?”

    Even the US pulled their senior diplomats who’d normally be there and sent the interns instead lmao

      He’s not trying to say that their Intel service has helped. He’s trying to emphasize “privacy” and “Israeli intelligence service” to remind people that Mossad has dirt on them, without literally saying that, imo

        He’s talking to his domestic audience, trying to reassure them that his genocide in Gaza is not destroying the international support Israel needs to survive.
