This moral stain will never be washed away from this government. We will return, draft everyone, and bring order to the streets of Israel.

Arye Deri sits in the cabinet and sends our children to fight and die for the country - and then he walks outside and sends his own children to block roads against drafting into the IDF.

When war is forced upon us, we must strike with overwhelming and disproportionate force. But war alone cannot become our automatic response to every problem.

I want to call out from here to Gadi Eisenkot. I want to say two words to him: Gadi, come. You are a man of values, a man who loves this country.

After three-and-a-half years of pain, grief, and disasters, there will be a great wave of hope, optimism, and normalcy. Gadi is coming, the camp is uniting, just as the country needs to unite.

Gadi, come. You are a man of values, a man who loves this country.

I am putting all my experience and knowledge behind one conviction: in order to win, we must first unite the camp.

We are masters of our own destiny. If this government has a problem with LGBT people, then this government should go home, because the community is not going anywhere. Happy Pride Month. I am proud to be here with you.

We stand here with the entire gay community today to say: The situation is not a given, reality is not a decree of fate.

Mother and father, father and father, mother and mother, all will have the same rights, all will be equal before the law.

There will be no two-state solution in the coming years, because Israelis now understand this will become just another failing terrorist state on our borders.

Israel is a sovereign state, we are not a vassal state and we are not a protectorate.

The deal is bad for Israel, bad for the region, bad for the citizens of Iran.

You cannot grant him a pardon without an admission of guilt, an expression of remorse and an immediate retirement from political life.

Last night’s cabinet decision to pursue occupation of the Gaza Strip means abandoning the hostages, while completely ignoring the repeated warnings from military leadership and the clear will of the majority of the Israeli public.

Calling the decision a disaster, it would take many long months, lead to the deaths of the hostages.

End the war and bring back the hostages.

With all due respect and gratitude to the president of the United States, he’s not supposed to intervene in a legal process of an independent state.

And now Gaza. It’s time to finish things there, too. Return the hostages, end the war. Israel needs to start rebuilding.

I urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept the proposal publicly and immediately.

There was never a government here that had so many reasons to ask for forgiveness.

Never before has a minister in the defense cabinet done such heavy damage to the country's security. It's unforgivable.

There was never a government here that had so many reasons to ask for forgiveness.
