Hezbollah is the proxy of and the hired killer of Iran and it is the Iranian influence, the poisonous and very brutal and dangerous influence of Tehran and Iran which must be brought to an end in Lebanon if we want to see a free Lebanon…

If that doesn't happen, then the whole purpose of what happened over the last few months and of the international community's resolve in reaching that resolution would be defeated.

We're not seeing enough robustness, enough forcefulness, enough determination on the part of the international force or the Lebanese army.

Israel has always said that it has no intention in staying in Lebanon one second more than is absolutely necessary.

Success is always measured based on expectations. And maybe the expectations were too high and maybe some of the statements made at the beginning of this war created those expectations, but I know for a fact that none of the political…

This is, as I said, not only the last chance for Lebanon, but the last opportunity for the international community to prove that that was not just a vote, but that is a real intention to make sure that Lebanon is free again and Israel is…

We want to give peace a chance. We want to give the United Nations and the international community a chance to actually have their forces deployed.

Israel will withdraw the minute there is a political solution and the minute there is a viable force in place.

I think that there should be at least some mention of the true root cause for this horrible conflict, which is the fact that Hezbollah has taken Lebanon, including Tyre, hostage.

They have to be made to do so by the international community, by the United Nations and by an international force which will be there to make sure that they never are able, ever, to raise their ugly head again and return to what they have…

Their long-term declared strategy is the destruction of Israel. And their tactics along the way are killing as many Israeli women and children and innocents as possible.
