Yesterday (Tuesday) former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored and acknowledged that Israel had made mistakes in its prosecution of the war in Gaza, a rare admission from a prominent Israeli figure amid escalating tensions with Iran.
Morgan, who has increasingly criticized Israel’s military actions, challenged Bennett on the high civilian death toll, citing Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry’s claim of nearly 40,000 deaths since October 2023. Bennett countered that the civilian-to-combatant casualty ratio, approximately 2.5:1, is lower than typical urban warfare, where ratios can reach 9:1, but conceded the war’s pace was too slow, prolonging suffering. “We’re not doing this quickly enough,” he told Morgan, arguing that international pressure to restrain Israel extends the conflict’s toll on Gazans.
