The people of Gaza are trapped. Israel has sealed the border, and they have no way to leave the Gaza Strip to do business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The one thing that I'm absolutely sure about is that the people of Gaza aren't going anywhere. And neither are the people of Israel.
If the Gaza ceasefire proves stable, Israel will not remain in the Strip.
If the withdrawal from Gaza goes badly, obviously, that will set us back.
The Palestinians are not willing to do anything, they're not willing to make the strategic decision to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorist organizations.
One way or another, Gaza's residents must live in peace with Israel.
There's no doubt that our hearts are with the residents of Gaza. We and the whole world are unable to get to a situation in which Gaza can be rehabilitated. There needs to be an international initiative with Israel's participation, in order to bring an end to the enmity against us.
As long as there are no negotiations with the Palestinians, Israel is and will continue to be in a difficult situation.
We want the Israelis to leave. They want to leave - so let us let them leave.
Sooner or later, Israel will have to defeat Hamas. There is no way around it.
When there is a Palestinian state, it will absorb hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria and Lebanon, because these states will simply expel all of these refugees.
