“The 'day after Hamas' will only be achieved with Palestinian entities taking control of Gaza, accompanied by international actors, establishing a governing alternative to Hamas's rule. This, above all, is an interest of the State of Israel.”
“The IDF takes extraordinary measures to avoid civilian casualties, and is operating in accordance with international law.”
“I will say this in the clearest way possible: A strong Palestinian Authority is in the best security interests of Israel.”
“This is a battle of national determination, and I tell you that we will defeat Hamas.”
“I hear our enemies bragging about various weapon developments, for any such thing, we have a better response - at air, in the sea and on land, with defensive and offensive capabilities.”
“In the face of the enemy's attempt to sow fear, we must continue with routine life.”
“Israel's security is my life's goal.”
“We have no other army - the IDF belongs to all of us.”
“We are going to fight Hamas until we prevail - no matter how long it takes.”
“We need everyone to protect ourselves in this country.”
“I will respect the Israeli law and I will respect any decision of the Supreme Court as the defense minister.”
“We are aware that the month of Ramadan may be a month of jihad. We tell everyone who is thinking of trying us - we are ready, don't make mistakes.”
“We will not rest until we've carried out our mission, and carried it out so that Hamas is defeated.”
“We're all subject to the rule of law.”
“We need determination, endurance, strength, and national cohesion with the goals.”
“We must dismantle Hamas' governing capabilities in Gaza. The key to this goal is military action, and the establishment of a governing alternative in Gaza. In the absence of such an alternative, only two negative options remain: Hamas's rule in Gaza or Israeli military rule in Gaza.”
“We must not allow anyone to use the IDF as a tool in political campaigns or as part of inflammatory statements by anonymous people.”
“I have lost commanders and brothers in arms, I have seen a lot of difficult incidents, a lot that were close to me, including friends dying in battle.”
“In times of darkness, one navigates according to a compass.”
