The Israeli ambassador to France, Raphaël Morav, is a guest on LCI. He deplored a “day of mourning for hundreds of families in Israel”, criticizing an attack “without any pretext, without any reason”. Despite the “emotion”, “we are all united around our government”, he insisted. The diplomat said he was “confident that the army is capable of intervening, responding and containing these attacks.”
The offensive by the armed wing of Hamas “took us by surprise, we must admit,” he also admitted. He admitted that Israeli authorities were trapped by the Palestinian Islamist movement. “Unfortunately, we were perhaps under the illusion that Hamas finally wanted to change, to become a slightly more credible and responsible entity, but their nature has not changed, it is still to want to annihilate Israel,” he said. -he affirmed, recognizing all the same a “failure of intelligence”. “They use unsophisticated means, it is difficult in terms of intelligence to know what is happening in each workshop”, however slipped the diplomat.
“This major, unprecedented surprise took place on a holiday. The targets were essentially civilians, with the sole aim of massacring as many Israeli civilians as possible,” he also accused. It is not a “conventional war of army against army, but of terrorists who arm themselves against a civilian population”, according to him: “the only goal is not to respond to an activity of “Israel, whatever it is, but to annihilate the State of Israel”, also affirmed Raphaël Morav, castigating “cowardly and despicable” acts. “Israel has withdrawn from the Gaza Strip to the last centimeter, they cannot say that they are under the influence of the Israeli army, they cannot say that they are fighting against an occupation which “does not exist. The only goal is the annihilation of Israel, hatred of the Jews,” he assured.
