Israel is in a war that was engaged on us.

We are conducting all our operations in compliance with the rule of law, including the Law of Armed Conflict.

Israel has no war against the Palestinians but against the Genocidal Islamist terrorist organization Hamas, that is not serving the Palestinian cause and their wellbeing but those of the global Islamic Jihad, master minded in Tehran.

Currently, the situation in Gaza does not amount to a humanitarian crisis and the internal supply capabilities in the Gaza strip are sufficient.

The Gaza Strip has significant internal supply capabilities of food, water, fuel/electricity, medical equipment. Such capabilities could be greater if Hamas had not been directing its resources to murderous terrorist activities and itself destroying the infrastructure that serves the civilian population, which Israel has, in part, helped create.

We were surprise and disappointed to read PM’s condemnation. Israel is not different from any other country in the world. Norway was a partner to the fight against ISIS and Al-Qaeda, far from every western territory,

And we are troubled by the fact that Israel is not receiving the same understanding to the need but instead is being condemned.

PM’s of Sweden and Denmark were personally coming to the Embassies of Israel in Stockholm and Copenhagen to pay their respects to the victims and show solidarity with the people of Israel.

US, UK, German, Canadian and other Foreign Ministers are visiting Israel this week, to show full solidarity and support if Israel’s justified actions, braving the more than 6,000 thousands rockets that are fired indiscriminately on our towns, and they them self are taking refuge during those rockets launchings. The US and UK are sending war ships to our shores as a signal to Iran and Hezbollah not to attack Israel, 4 Israeli soldiers have been killed this week from Hezbollah attacks, the German Chancellor in his words at the Bundestag yesterday (12) said that “Our solidarity with Israel is not exhausted in words, but we will also examine and provide to Israel other support without delay”.

Israel is conducting all its operations in compliance with the rule of law, including the Law of Armed Conflict.

Israel is extremely disappointed by the condemnation.
