Is that new?
Until now, I only saw it quoted from other politicians. Now, hopefully, he can't take back his word, although he is a politician.

That they're going to go after the higher ups in Qatar is a givem, pretty sure Netanyahu himself said "anywhere in the world", the only question is when. Not a good idea to kill people while you're still negotiating with them (though I'm not sure the negotiations themselves are a good idea in the first place).

Hard to believe that the Mossad can't nail these guys down in Qatar... they travel, meet with politicians and Qatar isn't that big or isolated.

There must be more to it...

Yeah, it's super easy to head anywhere on the globe and kill some of the more protected people in the world and go home for breakfast without getting killed/arrested.

Side topic?

I didn't agree with everything in "The Empty Wagon" https://www.amazon.com/Empty-Wagon-Zionisms-journey-identity/dp/1642555541, but I thought it was a reasonable defense of that perspective. Others here though so as well, with some reservations (search the site)
https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?action=search2;params=eJwtzc0KwyAQBOBXKV56mUNd-5M-TTC6NC1GgzENAR--a8lt52OGtf5ro2Nfz1VXVYfcLiJodCDQDQa6wwN0hxa9QmuYC-gJMtJfxrT1Lk1z4MKybLQOH3alTzHsh6Rcev_Okjwv7hBJmQP_3zdim90oqHiay37a7CtF9QPgDzas


This is a recent interview with the author where he discusses his views after a discussion about current events from the Palestinian perspective (not embedding - it's called "Debunking Zionist LIES With Noura Erakat & Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro"):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adPAmvGN234

Not sure what to think. Is he simply naive as to whom he is interviewing with and what he is tacitly endorsing (it is specifically mentioned that he was on in the first part as well)?
There is nothing reasonable about advocating for the demise of the Israeli government. It would put millions of Jews in mortal danger.

News conference. First time I've seen him in a shirt that isn't black since Shmini Atzeres.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

They don't take points, but maybe the Four Seasons Total Landscaping Doha does?

Is Netanyahu saying at 22:47 that things related to the Shalit deal had to do with blocking Iran ? ? ?

At 44:50 he kind of gives the tipping point in making the decision to approve the agreement. With emphasis at 45:50.

Reports of delay in execution of hostage release due to the fact that Hamas and Qatar haven't signed the agreement yet. First release now expected Friday.

Let's hope this deal will also be like a black Friday deal

Over-hyped, disappointing, and an overall waste of time?
