We want to retain the regional alliance that emerged after last Saturday night of moderate Sunni state standing, you know, basically shoulder to shoulder with us against Iran.
You can shoot 350 projectiles at us. And if one of them had gotten through, it could have killed thousands of people.
I think that the minister Ben-Gvir's posting was totally indefensible and irresponsible and dangerous.
If the ceasefire goes on, Hamas is going to use that period to lay more booby traps, to move equipment around.
