Netanyahu: We Use Missile Defense to Protect People, They Use People to Protect Missiles

On this weekend’s “Fox News Sunday,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the current military crisis between Israel and Palestine and said, “The difference between us, we are using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they’re using their civilians to protect their missiles.”

“I just want your viewers to imagine the United States being bombarded not in one city or two cities, but in every city between New York and Colorado, 80 percent of your citizens would have to be in bomb shelters or ready to go into bomb shelters within a minute to minute-and-a-half, max. No country can accept that, we can’t accept it, and we’ll take the necessary actions to stop it,” Netanyahu said

He added, “Our mission is to restore a sustainable quiet, a sustainable security to our people by seriously degrading Hamas and other terrorist groups’ capabilities in Gaza.”
