Well, first of all, MJ is absolutely right. You don't have an agreement with Hamas. And even if you have an agreement, you don't have an agreement because they don't negotiate in good faith.
It's existential for the state of Israel. It's not a matter of negotiation. It's something we have to end the threat, we just have to.
Terrorist organizations do not negotiate in good faith. They move the football. They will play with the emotions of Israelis. They'll torture Israelis. It's part of their terror. It's actually part of their strategy.
What they're really saying is, either he should step down or he should say 'I will accept responsibility' which is code in Israel for, after this, I will step down.
