Israeli PM Naftali Bennett stands firm against CNN's questioning on Gaza civilian deaths and calls for IDF action against Hamas

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett rejected CNN anchor Jake Tapper's questions about civilian deaths in Gaza, stating that Hamas deliberately places civilians in harm's way. Bennett emphasized that there is no magical solution to dramatically reduce collateral damage and that Israel strives to minimize unnecessary civilian casualties. He also highlighted that Israel's current civilian-to-Hamas casualty ratio is lower than historical international standards. Tapper pressed Bennett on the potential impact of civilian deaths in inciting a new generation of terrorists, to which Bennett responded that it depends on future actions and drew a parallel to de-Nazification in post-war Germany.
