In a fiery OAN interview, PM Netanyahu blasted media misinformation, demanded the release of all hostages, praised Trump’s wartime leadership, and declared that Israel will fight until Hamas is destroyed.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used an exclusive interview with One America News to launch a blistering attack on media misinformation, defend Israel’s war effort, and highlight the unbreakable U.S.-Israel alliance.
Speaking to OAN’s Stella Escobedo, Netanyahu warned that “another great casualty of this war is the truth,” accusing mainstream outlets of fueling distorted narratives against Israel. He stressed that Israel is fighting two wars simultaneously—on the battlefield against Hamas, and in the media against propaganda.
Netanyahu reaffirmed that all hostages must be released for the war to end, declaring: “We’re considering anything that will get 50 hostages, at least 20 alive ones and up to 30 dead ones, back. But there will only be a deal when every hostage is freed.”
He blasted Hamas for “brutally torturing and starving” hostages, adding that Israel has delivered over two million tons of food aid to Gaza, while Hamas cynically withholds supplies and hides behind “human shields.”
The Prime Minister emphasized: “The only policy of deliberate starvation in Gaza is that Hamas starves our hostages.”
On U.S. relations, Netanyahu hailed his close bond with President Donald Trump, calling him “an extraordinary leader, valiant and wise.” Trump, who recently described himself and Netanyahu as “wartime heroes,” won praise from the Israeli leader: “All free people should thank President Trump for his leadership.”
Netanyahu credited Trump with ignoring “nonsense warnings” that supporting Israel would spark World War III. Instead, he argued, Trump joined Israel in crushing Iran’s nuclear ambitions and preventing Tehran from threatening Europe and the United States with atomic weapons
