Mark Regev: “We understood the need to give a humanitarian relief to the people of Gaza who we don't see as our enemy.”

We will not live like that any longer. We saw what they're capable of doing. We saw the sort of gruesome, terrible, horrific violence they inflicted upon us. We refuse to live with that anymore sort of neighbor anymore. And we are now…

It's clear that these negotiations, if they ever resume will have to be done in discretion, but the fundamental equation is clear. They end violence, no more rockets on Israel, no more attacks whether through the sea or by those terror…

Our enemy are the Hamas terrorists who have shot over the last three weeks more than 3,000 rockets into Israel, trying to kill our citizens.

In other words, we went to Egypt after there was total cessation of all the violence and we'll not go back until the rockets stop because we are not going to negotiate and have rockets falling in Israel at the same time.
