We are not going to damage our safety and our security. We're not going to give those extremists the privilege to come so freely to Israel in order to carry out more attacks against us and kill us one day after another.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Israel won't be secure so long as Hamas is in power, and therefore, we need to come to a decision that we will break the will of Hamas to keep fighting.
It kind of scares me, the notion that we're going to be injecting ourselves into other countries' affairs when they're not posing a threat to our security. I wouldn't be telling Israel what to do.
I will continue to believe that Israel's security is paramount.
I hope I say this the right way, but I'm convinced that Israel will not trust other countries to do what they have to do to protect their own security.
The threats against Israel are growing.
But there's one thing we are not going to compromise at all: when it comes to security of Israeli citizens and the State of Israel, there are not going to be any compromises - not now and not in the future.
Who thinks seriously that if we sit on another hilltop, on another hundred meters, that this is what will make the difference for the state of Israel's basic security?
I can certainly put myself in Israel's shoes. They are humans just like we are. They want peace and security inside their borders.
There is no prospect that the United States will say to Israel, 'You do such and such and we'll not support you in your security.'
Israel is following policies which maximise its security threats... policies which choose expansion over security... policies which lead to their moral degradation, their isolation, their delegitimation, as they call it now, and very likely ultimate destruction. That's not impossible.
