To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.

Hamas is simply continuing all its operations. And Israel will not let this terror operation decide when it's convenient for them and not convenient for them to attack our people.

I would say we want to stop the firing of rockets, for sure. But we also want to dismantle the terror - the tunnel - the terror tunnel networks that we have uncovered.

The Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons would be infinitely more costly than any scenario you can imagine to stop it.

The idea of imposing peace from the outside doesn't work.

Israel has to accommodate the Palestinian demands and aspirations for ending occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. That is the only answer. The Israeli aggression on Gaza does not bring peace to Israel. We know that. We want end of occupation.

But ... the days that the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies — those days are over.
