Benjamin Netanyahu

What would America do, Margaret… if you faced the equivalent of 20 9/11s… 50,000 Americans slaughtered in one day?

We can't compromise with total victory, because I will tell you, we can't win the peace if we don't win the war.

The Israeli public has confidence in me. Last week, Knesset voted overwhelmingly...

If people try to foist it on us, it will be a terrible mistake… because it would be seen as a reward for terror.

Israel must destroy Hamas, demilitarize Gaza, and de-radicalize the whole of Palestinian society.

Netanyahu, in public, says he doesn't want the Palestinian Authority to have any role in the governance of Gaza in a post-Hamas reality.

Dozens of Israelis are protesting, demanding that the Israeli prime minister reach a deal immediately to free the hundred-plus remaining hostages in Gaza.

Our heroic soldiers have not fallen in vain. Out of the deep pain of their having fallen, we are more determined than ever to continue fighting, until Hamas is eliminated, until absolute victory.

I heard stories that broke my heart. I heard about the thirst and hunger, about the physical and mental abuse.

At the end of the day, this is our war. and we're the ones who need to decide. Ultimately, we're the ones who actually decide.

We swore, and I swore, to eliminate Hamas. Nothing will stop us.

Citizens of Israel, I'd like to be clear, the war continues. The war continues. We will continue with it until all our goals are achieved, to bring back our hostages, to demolish Hamas.

A ceasefire will start when the first child crosses the border into Israel.

Returning hostages was a sacred and supreme mission.

Israel will not let up on his assault on Gaza until Hamas has been eliminated.

We will win this war because we have no other choice. There's no life for us. There's no future for us and our neighbors if we allow the axis of terror, led by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and their minions to dominate.

I can say that what the commissioner said is hogwash. Because we’re, the main difference is, are you deliberately targeting civilians? No. We're deliberately doing everything in our power to target the terrorists.

We said, 'Destroy Hamas.' And for that, if we want to have peace, we have to destroy Hamas. This is what Israel must do, and this is what Israel will do.

The first task we have to achieve is defeat Hamas. The first task the Allies had to achieve before they could reconstruct Germany was to defeat the Nazis.

Right now we have to focus every ounce of energy, every ounce of will and resolve to achieve our goal of destroying Hamas because our future depends on it.

There's no substitute for victory, and we'll destroy Hamas, again, for our sake and for the sake of peace in the future.

If you want peace, destroy Hamas. If you want security, destroy Hamas. If you want a future for Israel, the Palestinians, the Middle East, destroy Hamas.

Every civilian death, every dead baby is a tragedy. But that tragedy should be placed squarely at the responsibility of Hamas that is keeping its military installations inside hospitals.

Israel will continue until Hamas is defeated and cannot return.

One thing we haven't agreed to a cease-fire. A cease-fire with Hamas means surrender to Hamas, surrender to terror, and the victory of the Iran's axis of terror. So, there won't be a cease-fire without the release of Israeli hostages.
