Netanyahu: 'Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas'

"Last week, many countries rightly applauded Obama when he declared that he would confront ISIS," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United Nations General Assembly in Geneva. 

"But weeks before, some of these same countries opposed Israel for confronting Hamas," he continued. 

"They do not realise that IS and Hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree."

"Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas. They share what all militants Islamists have in common."
