If the ICC acts against Israel's leaders, branding them as war criminals it will guarantee Israel fights to victory on all fronts, because f#ck it. We have nothing to lose.
If the price of peace with Saudi Arabia is losing the war and supporting a Palestinian state, I don't want peace with Saudi Arabia.
Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the Hague Criminal Court to undermine its fundamental right to defend itself ... While the Hague Tribunal's decisions will not affect Israel's actions, they will set a dangerous precedent that threatens the soldiers and public figures of any democracy fighting criminal terrorism and dangerous aggression.
Why are there so many arrestees? Can't we kill some? Are you trying to tell me they all raise their hands? What can we do with so many arrestees. It's dangerous for the soldiers.
In an interview with @israelhayomheb I said that the UN has become a collaborator of Hamas! Israel will have to establish new "rules of the game", which will include the closing of UN compounds, the denial of visas and the deportation of UN employees who work against us. If after changing the rules, this rotten organization still won't behave fairly towards us - we should consider leaving the UN.
The decision today in the Cabinet to force foreign observers on me in the prisons to check the condition of the Nukhba terrorists is a serious mistake. Our hostages in Gaza receive abuse, not visits and concern for rights. These visits harm deterrence, negotiations with Hamas, raise the morale of the terrorists, may lead to prison riots, and beyond that it is a violation of Israeli sovereignty, and an opening for international intervention in other issues in the future. No state that respects its sovereignty and security would allow this to happen. The British act as if the Mandate government exists, and we cooperate with this.
[The bodies discovered in mass graves in Nasser Hospital had their hands tied] because we probably arrested the terrorists. I don't know if the terrorists fought back, I wasn't there ... It could be that many were shot and they were shooting in a battle. It could be that there were bombs thrown by them, and grenades ... We don't know what they were doing before their hands were tied behind their backs, do we?
The list of participants in the riots at Columbia University should be given to the Mossad agent known as "Golem", a skilled sap expert in removing anti-Semitic contamination in a simple procedure without anesthesia with a very low rate of repeat offenders.
There’s a problem, let’s see how we solve it. I would not bring in a single aid truck. We allow them to eat well ... I see the markets are working very well there. I see the Gazans swimming
No one in the world will teach us what morality is and what norms are.
We need to strike the enemy with ten plagues, wipe out the memory of Amalek, to outstretch the arm with a mighty hand & give him one blow until it screams.
Stop trying to heal antisemites and start trying to hurt them ... They will stop out of fear because they know they will get hurt. They will stop because it is unpleasant to get hurt ... Every legal means available to you ... You must, to the best of your ability, ruin their fucking life. Ruin their fucking life as best you can, without remorse, without pity, and without any excitement. Just factually and objectively cause them pain.
President Minouche Shafik supports Hamas. President Minouche Shafik supports Islamic Jihad. Because every minute that she doesn't let the NYPD clear out these terrorist supporters from campus, she is a terrorist supporter. And I stand by my word.
What we're seeing now at Columbia, and I don't use this word lightly -- we're not seeing ideological war, we're not seeing support for terrorism -- we are seeing terrorism.
This is not just about Columbia, this is every US college. They have said they are going to bring down Columbia first, and then as a domino effect will have all other universities.
These people there [in Gaza] deserve death. A hard death, an agonizing death. And instead we see them enjoying on the beach, having fun... There are no innocent people there in the Gaza Strip... They are now enjoying on the beach, instead of starving, being jerked around, being severely tormented and hiding from shelling... We should have seen a lot more revenge, a lot more rivers of Gazans' blood
My reserve, which ends tomorrow, is in the detention facility of Sde Yemen.
The ‘Netzah Yehuda’ battalion is an inseparable part of the Israel Defense Forces ... the decision to impose sanctions on an IDF unit and its soldiers sets a dangerous precedent and conveys the wrong message to our shared enemies during war time. I intend on acting to have this decision changed.
I have no relationship with Netanyahu. I am a tool through which he conveys things to the public.
The tens of thousands of welcomers who were waiting in Gaza for their heroes, who brought with them the "loot" from Nir Oz in the form of the Israeli abductees, crowds who abused and humiliated the abductees, whom some define as "uninvolved." Each and every one of these many thousands is a terrorist for all intents and purposes. His blood will be on his head and the pursuit of him will be until his last day in prison or in the grave, as it is written: "Burn the memory of Amalek under the sky, you will not forget!"
These [men rounded up en masse in Gaza] are not innocent citizens, these are not uninvolved, for me these are not human beings at all... These are barbaric terrorists whose place is in hell and you have to make sure that they are eliminated one by one!
There are 2 million Nazis in Gaza who want to slaughter, rape and murder every Jew. If a local population rules there it will be a terrorist organization.
A hundred or so years of conflict with Arab nations and of terrorism, culminating in the Hamas brutality of Oct. 7, have demonstrated that Israel, certainly for the moment, can be considered the least safe place on earth for Jews.
Benjamin Netanyahu ... is right that it’s crucial for Israel to conquer Rafah and destroy the Hamas battalions ensconced in that city at the southern end of the Gaza Strip, protected by a human shield of some 1.4 million residents and refugees from the north.
I received great news. Three sons, two grandchildren of Ismail Haniya were eliminated in an airstrike, those you can hear above. Ismail, Eid Mubarak. You're next.
Boys who are now in middle school will still fight in the Gaza Strip, like in Judea and Samaria and against Lebanon.
7 Boom!
We will complete the elimination of Hamas battalions, including in Rafah. There isn't a force in the world that can stop us.
The UN breaks the Guinness World Record for rewarding terrorism. And if Hitler were alive, he would praise the UN, which is considering recognizing a Palesti-Nazi terror state. I criticized the idea and said that if this happens, the UN will be remembered as a body that has been hijacked by dictators and human rights violators. A body that rewards Nazi-like monsters.
Medical and nursing staff work in this impossible place. Dedicated nurses and conscience-imbued doctors understand that "In a place where there are no men, strive to be a man," according to a senior nurse there.
Doctors working there, like me, are fighting for the life of the patient lying in front of them, handcuffed and blindfolded.
Reading what Gideon Levy wrote ("Haaretz", 7.4), I find out that I may stand trial for performing life-saving medical operations there. It also turns out, according to the article, that there was only one righteous doctor in the hospital and that "limbs are amputated as a routine" - a whitewashed expression to clarify the loathsomeness and lack of adherence of the nurses and doctors to their medical duties and to the highest order of their profession, which is different from the profession of journalism, which are committed both to the truth and to the honor of every creature of the world.
We stand in front of a global flood of a billion Muslims, a big part of them are active on social media ... There's nothing to do, that is the truth. We are facing too many.
There is a very, very important message here: a hospital is not a safe place.
There is no imminent famine [in Gaza], I think that is a complete lie and fabrication ... That is a libel against Israel ... 10% of UNWRA are Hamas operatives ... There is no starvation.
The Prime Minister must lead the army to enter Rafah. Yes: when they're fasting, when they're tired and exhausted. To tear their bones apart!
Fasting Ramadan is the best time to kill them! They are weak and tired and no, I have no mercy on them.
The support of the President of Colombia @petrogustavo to the Hamas murderers who committed massacres and horrific sexual crimes against babies, women and elderly is a disgrace to the Colombian people.
The Security Council's decision has no operational significance for us, and in any case, we will continue to listen to our friendships, and we will always do what is right for Israel's security.
The State of Israel will not cease fire. We will destroy Hamas and continue to fight until the last of the abductees returns home.
The United Nations is a wasteland.
By the end of the war, all of Northern Gaza should be inhabited by Jews, this is the price for October 7th.
There are no civilians in this war.
UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres, stood today on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing and blamed Israel for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, without condemning in any way the Hamas-ISIS terrorists who plunder humanitarian aid, without condemning @UNRWA that cooperates with terrorists - and without calling for the immediate, unconditional release of all Israeli hostages. Under his leadership, the @UN has become an antisemitic and anti-Israeli body that shelters and emboldens terror.
[Is there any number of civilian deaths of Palestinians that would stop you carrying on with military action?] ... We can not stop. We will not stop.
I met with Secretary of State Blinken. ... I told him I hope we would do this [invade Rafah] with US support, but if necessary -- we will do it alone.
It's going to happen, and it will happen even if Israel is forced to fight alone. Even if the entire world turns on Israel, even the United States, we're going to fight until the battle won.
I have on my cell phone names of people who say to enlist me, enroll me. I want to join. I want to join the groups that are going to settle Gaza.
Why do you think it is immoral to take land from someone who wants to kill me? Why is it immoral to take my land, which my ancestors lived there, which I've even given up, to someone who slaughters, rapes, and murders me? What is more immoral than that?
No Arab, I am talking about over 2 million Arabs, they will not stay there [in Gaza].
