that he has held for so long, but now he has got a reprieve because of this conflict. But I'm not sure if it is accurate to say that Bibi started it. Didn't Hamas start firing missiles at innocent Israeli citizens before the IDF started bombing Gaza? Didn't the IDF attack in response to missiles being fired at Israeli territory?
