The entire world is focusing on the compromises that are necessary from Israel's side. But people [in the world] are not focusing on the fact that the Palestinians refuse to make the necessary compromises that are required on their side for peace.

The application of military force, or the prospect of such application, inhibits terrorist violence.

Hamas is responsible and Hamas will pay.
