It's incredible that netanyahu still speaks as if he is a player in this conflict when the last round showed clearly that he cannot achieve anything on his own and this opponent is way out of his League not only does he need to be supported with every armament and my munition from the US even then he cannot go on the offensive without the US France and Britain assisting. He should not be getting a vote how to prosecute this war.
