I do not need affirmations, tweets or lectures from anyone.

At the end of the day, Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarized. If foreign forces do this, all the better. And if they don't, we will do it.

If Hamas continues to blatantly violate the ceasefire, it will experience powerful strikes, as it did the day before yesterday and yesterday.

This constitutes a clear violation of the [Gaza peace] agreement

In the last year, we’ve had an unmatched alliance and partnership with the United States that is changing the Middle East, and it’s also changing the world.

One of our hands holds a weapon, the other hand is stretched out for peace.

Otherwise, the jihadists take over.

The most important thing in destroying fanaticism is to destroy a certain hope.

Gaza is not uniform.

I think the first fix is to finish the war as speedily as possible — something that I have sought to do against all this contrarian propaganda.

They believed that one way or the other, we'd get them out.

At the beginning of the war, I promised to bring all the hostages home.

Donald Trump is the greatest friend that the state of Israel has ever had in the White House.

Anyone who claims that this hostage deal was always on the table is simply not telling the truth.

Hamas will disarm and Gaza will be demilitarized. If this can be achieved the easy way, all the better; if not, it will be achieved the hard way.

The government has just now approved the framework for the release of all of the hostages – the living and the deceased.

It was a big day for Israel.

With God's help we will bring them all home.

Tomorrow I will convene the government to approve the agreement and bring all our dear hostages home.

I thank from the depths of my heart President Trump and his team for their mobilization for this sacred mission of releasing our hostages.

We will continue to fully cooperate with the president and his team in order to end the war in accordance with the principles that Israel laid out and which are in line with President Trump’s vision.

In the second phase, Hamas will be disarmed and the Strip will be demobilized. This will happen either through a diplomatic path according to the Trump plan or through a military path by us.

It is not yet final. We are working on it vigorously, and I hope, God willing, that in the coming days, during the Sukkot holiday, I will be able to announce to you the return of all our hostages, both living and dead, in one fell swoop…

This can be done the easy way, or it can be done the hard way, but it will be done.

Israel will finish the job by itself.
