The chairman of the state camp, Minister Benny Gantz, commented on the conduct of the government in which he is a party this evening (Tuesday) in Kirya in Tel Aviv: “Unfortunately, in recent days there are those who have forgotten this, precisely in the leadership.
who conduct a factional discourse in the Knesset. who turn the cabinet meetings into military parades.
who compare the TV studios to our enemies. To those who murdered our daughters and sons.”
“Being a public leader in a time of crisis is a great responsibility. I call on everyone from all sides of the political map, just before you speak, think about the fighters and the kidnapped, think about where we ended up and why. The citizens of Israel deserve more than us.”
Gantz commented on the plan for the release of the abductees: “We are working these days to initiate a plan for the return of our abductees. This is the result of military pressure, of our strength as a society seeking life, and of political actions we are taking, including the involvement of the dear and brave families of the abductees. The return of the abductees is an integral part of the victory and not Replaces our duty to remove the threat of Hamas. If we reach the outline – it will be a step on the way to victory.”
“At this time, it is not right to give our enemies information and invent red lines, and there are some. Even my friends and I. We will keep them in the closed rooms so as not to harm the effort to bring about a good plan, even if it will be painful. When there is a consolidated plan, we will present it to the public transparently, and we will approve it in the government.
He referred to the fighting in Gaza: “We have moved to the “targeted fighting” stage. It is not necessarily less intense – but goal-oriented. If we have to, we will intensify the fighting. Khan Yunis, the capital of the terrorists, from Moutal – there is one leaving, and there is no coming. The same is true in the north of the Gaza Strip. We will arrive Soon to Rafah and wherever Hamas terrorists are.”
Gantz added: “We also continue to exact a price in the north of the country, come and go – until our residents return safely. The IDF has proven in recent months that it knows how to find the solutions to any task. There were those who warned us against entering it. But our fighters demonstrate extraordinary determination and breakthrough abilities in fighting against a terrorist army, which will still be learned in the world.
“We are proving even today that the land army can bring about unprecedented operational successes. At the same time – there are no instant victories. We will win, and it will be long and complex. Unfortunately, it involves “blood, sweat, and tears”. But we will win because the Eternal People is not afraid of a road long
“Unfortunately, we have lost precious time in advancing the dismantling of Hamas’ governance, with an emphasis on the northern Gaza Strip, due to foot-dragging. Now, as a matter of urgency, we must promote an outline under which the food will be delivered to Gaza through international entities that are not affiliated with Hamas, such as UNRWA. Even if it requires stopping or reducing quantities. Even if we allow the entry of trucks from the north of the strip and not from the south.
All options are on the table – just not Hamas.”
“Our goal is 100% security control – 0% civilian control. For this to happen, the world must also join in. Only then will more aid reach the residents and not go through the terrorists.”
Gantz referred to the normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia: “I am personally involved in this, it can strengthen us against the Iranian axis, and also help bring in moderate elements that will make it possible to remove the rule of Hamas in Gaza, and replace it with an element that neither engages in terrorism nor educates in terrorism. The expansion of the Abraham Accords will be a regional achievement Hamas asked to prevent it on October 7. It can be part of the solution, and a step on the way to victory.”
At the end of his speech, Gantz announced his intention to move to Yad Mordechai.
