Journalist and writer Thomas Friedman said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will go down in history as the worst leader in Jewish history. Friedman called on the Israelis to overthrow Netanyahu’s government.

He described the Israeli war on Gaza as the real World War II. Friedman rejected that Israel's crimes in Gaza were genocide. He concluded the interview with two stark warnings: The first is for the Americans: Do not re-elect (former US President Donald) Trump, and the second is to oust Netanyahu and his coalition government.
