Parshall asked Rosenberg about his personal experience on Oct. 7. He described recognizing, after eight rounds of rockets fired toward Jerusalem, that something was different.
“So, it was very painful and then you realize throughout the day, this is not the normal round. This is not just rockets. The reports started coming in: Absolute slaughter. And that started the darkest era in modern Israel.”
But it isn’t just the terror attacks, Rosenberg said, Israel is getting attacked from multiple angles.
“We’re getting attacked from every single side physically, in terms of missiles and terror attacks, but also in the media and in the international arena, in the world Court and the UN.”
What's more, Rosenberg said is that Israel’s most trusted ally has suddenly become unpredictable.
Parshall brought up the immense political pressure being put on Israel internationally, with the International Criminal Court (ICC) trial on the charge of genocide and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) charges of war crimes against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. She also asked Rosenberg about the political environment now that Benny Gantz and his National Unity party have withdrawn from the emergency government.
“Well, it's too bad in a lot of ways,” Rosenberg agreed. “Benny Gantz is our former defense minister. Thirty-six years in the IDF. He was the IDF chief of staff,” and noted that he is "the most popular political leader in Israel right now.”
