Netanyahu claims Syrian regime loyalists tore out, ate Druze

“We do this because we work together—IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad—each in their field, with combined forces. They’ve done exceptional work under the lawmakers’ guidance. The government decides, the security forces execute and everyone deserves credit.”

Netanyahu targeted retired security officials as well. “I served with some of them; they were usually younger than me,” he said. “Over my 18 years as prime minister, I have great appreciation for their contributions, their bravery in battle and their sacrifices.” However, he claimed a shift occurs after they leave service.

“Systemically, gradually, one word has been erased from the IDF’s lexicon: victory,” he said. “We’re bringing that word back because without it, our existence here has no meaning. Either we win, or we don’t. I won’t give up on the victory of the Jewish people or our soldiers, with or without them.”

His remarks reflect a broader critique of retired officials who, he argued, have lost sight of decisive military objectives, contrasting their approach with his government’s resolve to achieve clear victories against Israel’s enemies.

“A few weeks ago, we stopped the savage massacre of the Druze,” he said. “These people who hate them hate us and hate America and they chant the same thing, ‘Death to America, death to Israel, death to the Jews, death to the heathen.’ And the Druze happen to be the heathen, a small minority.”

Describing the atrocities, he said, “They went into their town of Sweida and they butchered the men. They raped the women, the nurses and then shot them. They burned babies and they added a few things… You see a Druze civilian wounded lying on the ground and one of these fanatics, unbelievable savages, they go in, knife the guy, tear out his heart and then eat it. And it takes a few seconds for death to come.”

“Hamas uses terror and military raids, while the PA uses the International Criminal Court and the UN Security Council to destroy Israel.”
