Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday night fired back at accusations by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that Israel is killing civilians in Gaza.
“I urge the government of Israel to exercise maximum restraint. The world is watching, on TV, on social media—we’re hearing the testimonies of doctors, family members, survivors, kids who have lost their parents,” said Trudeau during a press conference in British Columbia on Tuesday.
“The world is witnessing this killing of women, of children, of babies. This has to stop,” he continued.
Tagging Trudeau in a tweet on Tuesday night, Netanyahu wrote:
“It is not Israel that is deliberately targeting civilians but Hamas that beheaded, burned and massacred civilians in the worst horrors perpetrated on Jews since the Holocaust.
“While Israel is doing everything to keep civilians out of harm’s way, Hamas is doing everything to keep them in harm’s way.
“Israel provides civilians in Gaza humanitarian corridors and safe zones, Hamas prevents them from leaving at gunpoint.
“It is Hamas not Israel that should be held accountable for committing a double war crime—targeting civilians while hiding behind civilians.
“The forces of civilization must back Israel in defeating Hamas barbarism.”
