"Surrendering to the delusional demands of Hamas will not only not lead to the release of the hostages, but will invite another massacre and a heavy disaster for the State of Israel."

"Total victory is essential because it ensures the security of Israel. Total victory is the only way in which we can ensure additional historic peace agreements which await."

"There is no agreement on the framework yet and Hamas has significant remarks. The Qatari statement has hastiness in it and is not correct."

"Hamas came to uproot us; we will uproot them. Hamas came to wipe us out; we will wipe them out. We will deepen our roots in our land."

"While this budget is indeed an annual budget, it is a budget for a year in which we are at war. This requires us to incur far greater security expenditures than we planned."

How can any Israeli refugee return home to a village near the border without the ability to guarantee Gaza will no longer be a threat to their existence?

"We will do everything to restore security to the north and allow your families –because many of you are from here – to return home in safety and to know that we are not to be trifled with. We will do whatever is necessary."

"We will not give Hamas any immunity whatsoever, and we will fight until we restore security in both the south and the north. Until then, and to that end, everything must be put aside."

"I think Iran's goal is to destroy your efforts to reconcile with the Arab world. It's a nightmare for the Ayatollah; it's an absolutely essential ingredient to a better more stable Mideast in a safe and secure Israel, and a prosperous Palestinian people."

"Regrettably, many Israeli citizens, including Knesset members and party members, can hardly wait until the war ends and are already now starting the campaign of 'anyone but Bibi.'"

PM Netanyahu: "Whoever talks about stopping – there is no such thing. We are not stopping. The war will continue until the end, until we finish it, no less."

"We'll continue to provide Israel with the equipment that you need to defend your country . . . including critical munitions, tactical vehicles and air defense systems."

"We must significantly increase – in absolute terms, a considerable increase – the security budget by at least NIS 20 billion per annum, also as a proportion of GDP."

"The Gaza Strip will be demilitarized, it will be under the security control of Israel, and there will be no factor in it that will threaten us and no factor that will educate its children to destroy us." No Ramallah government in Gaza.

"I say this . . . in the face of the international pressures. Nothing will stop us. We are going on to the end, until victory, nothing less."

"It should be obvious that little toddlers will be released with their mother and hopefully with a father as soon as possible."

"In the last few days I hear a question - after this phase of returning our abductees is exhausted, will Israel return to fighting? “My answer is an unequivocal yes."

Netanyahu and Musk went to the young people's neighborhood on the kibbutz, which suffered most of the horrors on October 7th.

"We will continue until the end, until victory. Nothing will stop us ... we have the power, the strength, the will, and the determination to achieve all the war's goals, and we will."

"Abu Mazen, who in the past has denied the existence of the Holocaust, today is denying the existence of the Hamas massacre and that's unacceptable."

President Joe Biden has been Israel's strongest support in the war against Hamas following the Oct. 7 massacre, but he is making sure to take his pound of flesh.

Netanyahu: The Palestinian Authority "had Gaza. So what happened? They were slaughtered and thrown out within months by Hamas."

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: "The world is witnessing this: the killing of women and children, of babies. This has to stop."

"When we don’t have that security responsibility, what we have is the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn’t imagine."

"This is not a local battle. This is a global battle. The paramount need is to defeat this axis."

There is no lack of fuel in the enclave: it has simply been seized by Hamas for its military effort to annihilate Israel.

"Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas.”

Netanyahu: "Every Hamas terrorist is a dead man walking, in Gaza or out of Gaza, underground or above it."

“This fight against terrorism is obviously a matter of existence for Israel, but it’s a matter of existence for all of us."

"If Hezbollah decides to enter the war, it will long for the Second Lebanon War."
