Michael Oren: “The president and his administration have not wavered a bit. They understand that the ceasefire means Hamas wins, Hamas…”

Israel has to, on one hand, defend itself, defend the country, restore its internal security because we have 250,000 people who can't go back to their homes.

Hamas knows once it released the last 10 hostages, then Israel can then go into those tunnels, flood them with water, flood them with whatever flammable substance that we can find, and that will be the end of Hamas.

Now it’s the first time that I’ve seen in history when we have the opportunity to make the strategy the strategy. It’s not a tactic.

You can shoot 350 projectiles at us. And if one of them had gotten through, it could have killed thousands of people.
