TEL AVIV: Defeated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has lashed out at his own military – the Israeli Defence Force – blaming it for his defeat at the recent election that appears certain to have ended his two-decades in power.

Addressing the new Knesset in which Netanyahu’s main opposition has been invited by the nation’s president Isaac Herzog to be given first try to form a government given its qualified approval by a block of Arab parties that performed better at the poll than many expected, a red-faced and furious Netanyahu (pictured above and below in happier times) lashed out at the IDF that he had always fully supported over his many years as PM.

“The IDF’s commitment to keeping innocent Palestinian deaths to a minimum as it rooted out Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip these past three years might have seemed noble at the time but it has put my plans for a Greater Israel – indeed, the very survival of Israel itself – in grave peril,” a bitter Netanyahu spat out in an obscenity-laden 43 minute rant.

“While the IDF deserves its status as the world’s most moral and decent military organisation ever, we are now faced with the grim but clear reality that it should have been far less careful in protecting innocent Gazan lives, particularly voting-age Palestinian adults as it bravely tried to eradicate 20,000 poorly armed Hamas terrorists hiding in tunnels,” Netanyahu railed.

“Had, say, another 100,000 Gazan men and women been the unfortunate victims of unavoidable collateral damage these past three years, the very existence of the great state of Israel would not now be at grave risk!”
