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 going to create a new reality -- reality in Gaza.
Regev emphasized Israel's determination to change the situation in Gaza following the violence inflicted by Hamas.

In other words, I think demilitarization of Gaza has to be part of the end game agenda.
There are talks going on in parallel to the military operation against terrorists targeting Gaza. The phones have been ringing and conversations are happening. And if it's possible to find a diplomatic solution that will be a good thing…
We will agree, and we will only agree to a temporary cease-fire in Gaza for the release of our hostages.
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.
