CNN Anchor Asks Top Republican If Netanyahu Is Needlessly Prolonging Gaza War to Stay in Power: The ‘Hostages Stay Longer’

EXCERPT:

BASH: "Senator, one of Prime Minister Netanyahu‘s predecessors, Ehud Barak, who we understand and we should tell our viewers who might not know is not from the same party as prime minister Netanyahu, but nonetheless, he he‘s somebody who has been intimately involved in trying to get to peace. He almost got there when Bill Clinton had him and Yasser Arafat in 2000 here in the United States. He said very, very strongly and very clearly to Wolf that he does not believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu actually wants to end the war because it would mean the end of his own political viability at home, and that might even mean the hostages stay longer. Are you concerned about -- I mean, you‘re a politician. You understand what‘s going on in Israel. Are you concerned about the notion that Bibi Netanyahu isn‘t trying as hard as he can to get this deal because of his own concerns about his own future?"
