We will agree, and we will only agree to a temporary cease-fire in Gaza for the release of our hostages.
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, I think demilitarization of Gaza has to be part of the end game agenda.
Not the scope. The goal remains the same to stop those rockets coming in on Israeli cities and to prevent Hamas terrorists from infiltrating across the border through those tunnels trying to kill our people.
