evidence: Days after it published an in-depth interview with Benjamin Netanyahu, Time magazine fact-checked "claims that lacked context, were not supported by facts, or were not true" in which the prime minister sought to downplay his responsibility for October 7 and facilitation of funding for Hamas during his years in power. [...] "October 7 showed that those who said that Hamas was deterred were wrong," Netanyahu told Time. "If anything, I didn’t challenge enough the assumption that was common to all the security agencies." [...] Netanyahu also told Time that despite those two ministers’ avowed pro-settler position, "I’ve not sought annexation" in the West Bank. Israel captured the territory during the Six Day War in June 1967; the international community considers settlements there, and annexation of the land, to be illegal.
