He also talked about how Israel has strong ties with other countries, not just big ones like the US and India, but also in the Middle East, Far East, Latin America, and Africa.
The opposition, however, wants him to resign, saying he hasn't handled the war well and hasn't taken responsibility for the Hamas attack.
