Netanyahu made these remarks while Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has already ordered the police forces to be prepared for a major offensive in al-Quds. Ben-Gvir told reporters on Friday that he has instructed the police forces to be prepared for a “Defensive Shield 2” operation in the holy city starting from Sunday.
The man said that an Israeli offensive called “Defensive Shield” led to dozens of deaths among Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Many people criticized Ben-Gvir’s statements about the new large-scale offensive because they thought it should be decided based on all the information available.
