Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while addressing the ongoing Israel-Hamas war alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, drew a parallel between the Hamas attack on October 7 and the Holocaust.

In his speech, he referenced historical tragedies like Babyn Yar and Anne Frank to highlight the atrocities committed.

“On October 7, Hamas waged war on Israel. It was the worst terrorist attack the world has known since 9/11, but for Israel, proportionately, it was like 9/11s. It was the worst act of anti-semitic violence since the Holocaust” Benjamin Netanyahu said.

“It’s impossible to describe all of the horrors, but like Anne Frank, Jewish children hid in attics from these monsters, and they were found and butchered. As in Babi Yar, Jews were machinegunned” he added.

“Hamas butchered, Hamas beheaded Hamas burned babies alive. Hamas raped, Hamas kidnapped - hostages, over 200 - babies, children, elderly, Holocaust survivors. We are in a war between barbarism and civilisation” Netanyahu added.

Further, Netanyahu contended that Hamas’s actions pose a threat not only to Jews but also to the Middle East, Europe, and the world at large.

The Israeli PM branded Gaza as “an enclave of ISIS.”

He asserted, “We are committed to taking all necessary measures to dismantle Hamas in Gaza, including its terror infrastructure and political apparatus. Our priority is to secure the release of our hostages and minimise harm to Palestinian civilians.”

Netanyahu underscored the primary objective of the conflict as the destruction of Hamas. “Hamas must be destroyed,” he said.
