The government has a moral, national and strategic duty to eradicate this evil rule to the end. This move is also necessary in view of our other enemies, who are now carefully examining the response of Israel and the IDF” “"The goals of the war should be fourfold: First, the complete liberation of the Gaza Strip from the brutal occupation of Hamas along with the complete and final collapse of its rule and the return of military and civilian control to the State of Israel. Second, the elimination of tens of thousands of Hamas fighters or their expulsion from the Gaza Strip and the elimination of all the organization's infrastructure.
