00:00 With all the respect, all the description in Sky News and international media,
00:05 even the esteemed court didn't see any evidence about the idea of a genocide.
00:09 So that's a proof it was fake.
00:11 Sorry.
00:12 It was a proof that it's part of the propaganda of Hamas to embarrass us.
00:16 Yes, you've made your point.
00:17 You've also departed from the original question.
00:20 One of the provisional measures is about the incitement.
00:25 You can guarantee that.
00:26 We will eradicate Hamas.
00:27 Right, okay.
00:28 Yes.
00:29 Yes, absolutely.
00:30 You've doubled down on those public comments.
00:32 You've called for a voluntary migration of Palestinians from Gaza.
00:35 In November, you co-authored a piece that appeared in the Wall Street Journal.
00:38 You suggested the ethnic cleansing of some of Gaza's population to Western countries
00:43 that would accept the refugees.
00:45 The exact quote from that article, "One idea is for countries around the world to accept
00:50 limited numbers of Gazan families who have expressed a desire to relocate."
00:54 Do you stand by those statements?
00:55 I will not allow it.
00:56 You know, ethnic cleansing, that's a word you used.
00:58 If you read my article, I spoke about voluntary immigration.
01:01 I read that article.
01:02 I did read that article.
01:03 I've just quoted from it.
01:04 Let me remind you that you spoke about ethnic cleansing.
01:07 I spoke about voluntary immigration.
01:10 And I think anyone in the world who voluntarily wants to move to another country
01:14 should be eligible to do that.
01:15 But you know what?
01:17 It's not the first time that we hear those allegations.
01:20 Yes, the sort of voluntary relocation of many Jewish people during the Holocaust, I imagine.
01:25 How can you even compare that?
01:28 Shame on you for that comparison.
01:29 Let us please, let us...
01:30 That's a shameful anti-Semitic equation.
01:33 Let us please go to the subjective.
01:34 I will not allow you to speak about the Holocaust.
01:36 You said, you said earlier, you said earlier...
01:39 This is pure anti-Semitism, what you just said.
01:44 Mr. Danon...
01:44 Comparing the Holocaust to what's happening today in Gaza...
01:46 Mr. Danon, you talked about eradicating Hamas.
01:48 Shame on you for this behavior.
01:50 Shame on you for this equation.
01:52 You should apologize for what you just said on record about the Holocaust.
01:57 How can you even compare that?
