Does anyone have an original, in English or in Hebrew of what he said? Not a news source retelling or worse - translation

If you're going to try and argue semantics when there is literal evidence of him following through then there isn't really any point.

It's reported he said it, there is no denial that he said it, and then he delivered on what he said. There is a reason there is an arrest warrant out for war crimes.

Reporting on this conflict has had examples of taking statements out of context and mistranslating Hebrew and Arabic.

I disagree that there is no point in finding an actual statement made by Netanyahu if people are accusing him of making that statement.

Especially in light of the international court actions
