Hamas Rebuilt Before Nir Oz: Naftali Bennett Visits the Envelope and Opens Fire

During a visit to Netiv HaAsara, Naftali Bennett sharply criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying that Hamas has rebuilt before Nir Oz, Qatar is running Gaza, and the Israeli government has abandoned security. Bennett called for defining Qatar as an enemy state, establishing a state commission of inquiry, and rehabilitating the communities near the Gaza border.

Naftali Bennett, chairman of the Yashar party, visited Netiv HaAsara near the Gaza border and sharply attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In his opening remarks, he said: "After the terrible massacre that occurred here on this blood-soaked ground, an entire nation swore: never again. What was will not be. And here I stand, raising a red flag and saying: what was is happening now, more. Hamas has rebuilt before Nir Oz. The Israeli government simply gave up and completely abandoned Gaza. Qatar—which funded the Nukhba—has taken the reins again, and now a Hamas-stan is rising again under our noses." Bennett claimed that Hamas today has more armed terrorists than on October 7, including Nukhba terrorists, and that Hamas has restored its command structure, rearmed with long-range missiles, drones, and quadcopters, and is digging tunnels anew. He added that the dangerous deal brought by the "murder government" rewards Hamas and Qatar, and that Hamas is not required to surrender its weapons but only to "store" them inside Gaza. Bennett accused Netanyahu of giving up on eliminating Hamas, bringing Qatar into the Prime Minister's Office, and handing the keys to Gaza to the Qataris. He called for defining Qatar as an enemy state, establishing a state commission of inquiry, rehabilitating Nir Oz and the surrounding communities, and strengthening security. "We know what needs to be done, and exactly how to do it. This is our life's mission," he concluded.
