On the recordOctober 29, 2023
Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostility with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7th. Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen. Ladies and gentlemen, the bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war.
Said by
Benjamin Netanyahu

Editor's note · Context

Netanyahu firmly rejects calls for a ceasefire, comparing the situation to historical attacks on the U.S. and asserting that Israel will not surrender to Hamas.
