Even though Netanyahu is Jewish, he knows using (and in this case abusing) the Christian bible is a good way to keep support going among US evangelicals and the new Speaker of the House.

He’s citing the Hebrew Bible.
There’s truly no shortage of uninformed takes on the Isreal Palestine situation.

Not only is he citing the Hebrew Bible, it SAYS IN THE LINK THAT HE POSTED THAT HE’S CITING THE HEBREW BIBLE.
Seriously, kids these days, it’s like nobody goes to Vacation Bible School anymore
Be aware that Middle East Monitor is rated “Factual reporting: Mixed” and strongly biased as it sometime use poor sources and use loaded words.
La Croix published an alaysis of this Isaiah Prophecy quote (french). They found it’s a poor and/or convoluted reference, and that article do not mention “Holy War” so this expression is most likely editorializing from the Middle East Monitor.
It’s really just a video of Netanyahu saying the words himself. It’s not interpreted or analysed by the website. Don’t see how that can be very biased.
I watched it a second time to be sure. While the voiceover doesn’t say “Holy War” he does cite religion and sounds like religious radicals dog-whistle.
There’s good reasons to be critical of Netanyahu government, but I’d still suggest seeking better sources.

Ah! Nothing like millennia old scriptures to convince people that a genocide is necessary!
Imagine no religion.

Your comment could be easily taken as antisemitic. Our only rule at Beehaw is to be(e) nice. Please, keep this in mind for the future. BTW, you are using that Psalm outside of its historical context and does not apply to modern religious Jews.
Lol this is a propaganda outlet
It’s Netanyahu speaking directly in a video. Not being interpreted or analysed by the outlet.
Then it must be easy to find a reliable source
Can anybody translate the video?
There’s a voiceover.
They’re asking for a translation.

Sounds like he’s culturally appropriating American behaviour.
He can’t be held responsible for his failure to protect his people if they are in a constant state of war. How long before mideast instability drags us all back?
