  3. I told the Palestinian representative at the Security Council that he is a terrorist in a suit!

  4. This week the newspaper "Haaretz" published that the IDF uses the Palestinians as tunnel probes. "Human shield", according to their definition … There is no clean war. There are dilemmas in the field, such as who enters life-threatening areas … There is no scoop worth the lives of our soldiers.

  5. If the embassy representatives wish to mourn, they should go to Turkey and mourn alongside their master, Erdogan, who embraces the terrorist organization Hamas and supports its acts of murder and terror.

  12. As soon as the decision of the court in The Hague was published - I ordered an office team to warm up the shredders.

  13. Hamas just celebrated the ICJ ruling.

  14. Ireland, if your goal was to reward terrorism by declaring support for a Palestinian state, you’ve achieved it. @SimonHarrisTD, Hamas thanks you for your service.

  15. An arrest warrant should be issued for the prosecutor at The Hague International Court who disgraces his position with antisemitism and hatred of Israel. A shame and a disgrace!

  16. Placing the leaders of a country that went into battle to protect its citizens, in the same line with bloodthirsty terrorists - is moral blindness and harms its duty and ability to protect its citizens. Accepting the prosecutor's position will be a historical crime that cannot be erased.

    Retired IDF general, Minister without portfolio
  17. The statement of the chief prosecutor in The Hague, which puts the prime minister and the defense minister in the same line as the heads of Hamas, shows that sending representatives of Israel to the deliberation at the antisemitic court was a serious mistake to begin with. The prime minister and the defense minister must ignore the antisemitic prosecutor of the antisemitic court, and to order the escalation of the attack against Hamas until its absolute submission.

  18. It's inconceivable that arrest warrants are issued after they massacred us on October 7. It's unforgivable. We are waging a just war, and let's be clear - we will not let this pass in silence … We call on the Americans - I expect the administration to stand behind us and for Congress to convene and condemn the arrest warrants.

  19. I think that the situation at the court is anti to begin with. Everything is not in our favor. We made a mistake going there the first time. We need to deal with it, but we also need to remind the members of the coalition that dealing with it without the Americans is almost impossible. We have to coordinate with them.

  20. The ICC is a neo-Nazi institution. Both the fake court and its genocide enabling employees should be treated accordingly by all people of good faith. They should be denied visas. Their assets should be frozen. And they should be prosecuted for providing material aid to Nazis.

  21. The outrageous decision by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague is an unrestrained frontal assault on the victims of October 7th and our 128 hostages in Gaza. While Hamas murderers and rapists commit crimes against humanity against our brothers and sisters, the Prosecutor mentions in the same breath the Prime Minister and Defense Minister of Israel alongside the vile Nazi-like monsters of Hamas – a historical disgrace that will be remembered forever.

  22. I have instructed the immediate establishment of a special command center at the Foreign Ministry, with all professional entities, aimed at fighting against the decision intended primarily to shackle Israel's hands and prevent it from exercising its right to self-defense. I intend to speak with foreign ministers of leading countries around the world to urge them to oppose the Prosecutor's decision and declare that even if warrants are issued, they do not intend to enforce them against Israeli leaders.

  23. The ICC arrest warrants are a complete moral failure, we cannot accept the outrageous comparison between Netanyahu and Sinwar, between the leaders of Israel and the leaders of Hamas.

  24. The announcement of the prosecutor at the ICC is beyond outrageous, and shows the extent to which the international judicial system is in danger of collapsing … We expect all leaders in the free world to condemn outright this step and firmly reject it.

  25. A court that equates the leaders of a democratic nation, such as a prime minister and a defense minister, with those of a terrorist organization responsible for a sadistic massacre, where they butchered, tortured and raped of thousands of innocent citizens, does not deserve the title of a legitimate judicial body. This is a puppet theater, manipulated by the directives of terrorists. I expect genuine democracies to condemn this blatantly antisemitic ruling.

  26. The request for arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant is delusional, unfounded, and [a serious matter]. To place Netanyahu and Gallant together with Sinwar and Deif is madness.

  27. Shame on you all. Your legal pitchforks for Jews have discredited your institution.

  28. To utter the names Netanyahu and Gallant in the same breath as Sinwar and Deif is to suggest some moral equivalence between a Western democracy, however imperfect, and the bloodthirsty terrorist group against which it is defending itself. The ICC prosecutor’s announcement is abhorrent and amoral and should be roundly and categorically rejected by the international community.

  29. The "court" in The Hague reveals its true identity to the masses: antisemitism in a tie and cloak. Those who are able to put Sinwar's mechanism of genocide in the same line as those fighting against the mechanism of extermination - do not deserve the title of court, but rather the definition of an antisemitic theater of the absurd.

  30. The ICC presents an antisemitic theater of the absurd. Nothing related between it and justice. To compare the prime minister of a democratic state that is fighting a war it didn't choose, in accordance with international law, to a mass murderer who led to the slaughter of children, brutal rape of women, amputation of organs and mass slaughter, is moral bankruptcy.

  31. The position is clear and has not changed - the State of Israel should not stand trial for fighting for its existence and it will not take part in The Hague’s Russian roulette. The fact that the chief prosecutor in The Hague indicates that the oppressor Sinwar and the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu are equal, only proves the claim.

  32. The hypocrisy of the Attorney General at the Hague court, in creating symmetry in the request to issue the arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, Netanyahu and Gallant is shameful. The fact that a country that operates in accordance with the laws of war, while putting combatants at risk, is compared to monsters who have come to massacre, rape, and kidnap civilians, is a moral and legal scandal.

  33. Insane! Report: The chief prosecutor at Criminal Court at The Hague wants to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Sinwar. A delusional prosecutor who equates the abominable murderer Sinwar with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense.

  34. I call on all state leaders, coalition and opposition alike, to condemn the scandalous decision of the prosecutor in The Hague.

  35. He who wants to put Netanyahu and Gallant on the same throne with Sinwar and Deif will remain in the history books as the destroyer of international law and a moral perversion.

  36. [The ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan] is callously pouring gasoline on the fires of antisemitism that are raging across the world. Through this incendiary decision, Mr. Khan takes his place among the great anti-Semites of modern times. He now stands alongside those infamous German judges that donned their robes and upheld laws that denied the Jewish people their most basic rights, and enabled the Nazis to perpetrate the worst crime in history.

  37. Two weeks ago, on Holocaust Memorial Day, I pledged this: no amount of pressure, and no decision in any international forum, will prevent Israel from defending itself against those who seek our destruction. To all the enemies of Israel, including their collaborators in The Hague, I renew that pledge today.

  38. I met with @AIPAC leaders Michael Tuchin and Howard Kohr. The State of Israel owes them much for their longstanding support. I asked them to work with the administration and Congress to take dramatic steps against the decision by the Prosecutor of the ICC to demand arrest warrants for PM Netanyahu and the Defense Minister.

  39. Someone tell the prosecutor at the anti-Semitic terror supporter court in The Hague that my name is Tali Gottlieb and not Tali Kottlieb.

  40. Trucks with aid to the enemy? I blocked myself. I don't know if it was published, but I came and blocked the road with my car as well.

  41. The responsibility for the October 7 massacre lies with those who expelled the Jews from Gush Katif.

  42. Hamas ❤️ Biden

  43. The United States of America forbids Israel from defeating Hamas. They chose a side and it's not our side.

  44. The US is threatening not to give us precision missiles. Oh yeah? Well, I got news for the US: we have imprecise missiles and we have the right to defend ourselves. So maybe instead of using a precise missile, and taking down a specific room or a specific building, I'll use my imprecise missiles and I'll just collapse ten buildings. Ten buildings. Ten buildings! That's what I'll do.

  45. Hamas' tricks and games have only one answer: an immediate order to occupy Rafah! Increasing military pressure, and continuing the complete crushing of Hamas, until its complete submission.

  46. The idea that we stop the war before achieving all its goals is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve complete victory.

  47. I warned the Prime Minister if, God forbid, Israel does not go into Rafah; if, God forbid, we end the war; if, God forbid, there will be a reckless [hostage-exchange] deal. The Prime Minister heard what I had to say, promised that Israel is going into Rafah, promised that we’re not ending the war, and promised that there won't be a reckless deal.

  48. Rafah, Deir al Balah, Nuseirat? Total Extermination! We'll destroy any semblance of Amalek from under the sky.

  49. 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.

  50. 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.

  51. 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.

  52. 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.

  53. Again, to my dismay and shock I've had to deal, in the past days, with the question If the Nukhbas have a fruit basket. Have fruit - don't have fruit? And I say, in my opinion, we should put them down with a bullet to the head. To make a death penalty for terrorists, and pass the Otzma Yehudit bill for a third vote. But until then we'll give them the minimum that the law obligates. No more.

  54. No one in the world will teach us what morality is and what norms are.

  55. 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.

  56. My reserve, which ends tomorrow, is in the detention facility of Sde Yemen.

  57. 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.

  58. Boys who are now in middle school will still fight in the Gaza Strip, like in Judea and Samaria and against Lebanon.

  59. We will complete the elimination of Hamas battalions, including in Rafah. There isn't a force in the world that can stop us.

  60. 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.

  61. 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.

  62. The United Nations is a wasteland.

  63. The State of Israel will not cease fire. We will destroy Hamas and continue to fight until the last of the abductees returns home.

  64. 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.

  65. 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.

  66. [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.

  67. 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.

  68. 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.

  69. I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza, and that every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did.

  70. To those saying the price [of an offensive in Rafah] is too high, I say this very clearly: Hamas has a choice — they can surrender, release the hostages, and the citizens of Gaza will be able to celebrate the holy holiday of Ramadan.

  71. Yes, we set fire to houses [in Gaza]. As much as possible. And we are proud of it.

  72. The Hague Schmag 🇮🇱

  73. The Hague knows my position [about using nuclear weapons against the civilian population in Gaza].

  74. Neither The Hague nor anyone will stop us.

  75. We were meant to fight this war against Hamas, as is happening now, and luckily for us it came from the heavens

  76. So I ask again, what is the meaning 'humanitarian' ceasefire? There's no such a thing. This is a- one big lie! A whitewashing of the truth! A humanitarian ceasefire means a terrorist-saving ceasefire. We're not stupid. This resolution only seeks an end to the war against Hamas nazis. Sorry for the words, you don't give a damn about Israel and our future. An end to the war means turning our backs on the hostages. It means ensuring Hamas's continued rule in Gaza. I don't get it. We're 18 years of oppression in Gaza- by the way against Palestinians digging terror tunnels into our soil- into our territory, and indiscriminate rocket fires, thousands and thousands on Israeli civilians. That wasn't enough for you? All a ceasefire secures is a future for the genocidal jihadists. It is only Hamas that this resolution is defending. Stop hiding your intentions behind your suits and diplomatic wording.

  77. Go fuck yourself, from KAN Digital

  78. ... and when the general assembly called for a ceasefire, I declared loud and clear that there will be no ceasefire, never.

  79. We are striking our enemies with unprecedented might. I emphasize that this is only the beginning.

  80. Bring down buildings!! Bomb without distinction!! Stop with this impotence. You have ability. There is worldwide legitimacy! Flatten Gaza. Without mercy! This time, there is no room for mercy!

  81. We will avenge with great force the black day they have inflicted upon the State of Israel and its citizens. As Biyalik said: revenge for the blood of a little child has yet been devised by Satan.

  82. A closed, burnt Huwara — that’s what I want to see ... That’s the only way to achieve deterrence. After a murder like yesterday’s, we need burning villages when the IDF doesn’t act.

  83. I'm asked if we will forever live by the sword — yes.

  84. Realistic leaders in Washington and Jerusalem cannot allow Tehran to have the Bomb. And, in the coming months or year, must do what is necessary to halt and destroy the Iranian nuclear project. And if this involves a protracted, conventional air assault on the Iranian nuclear facilities—then so be it. The Iranians will have brought that assault on their own heads. And, if conventional weapons cannot do the job—and if Israel is forced to go the course alone, it is doubtful that its conventional capabilities will be sufficient to destroy the Iranian nuclear project. Then non-conventional weaponry will have to be used to stymie the project. And many innocent Iranians will die. But the Iranians will have brought this upon themselves by bringing to power and leaving in power a leadership that will have forced Israelis to do what was necessary in order to survive.

  85. Personal terrorism is a way of fighting that is acceptable under certain conditions and by certain movements.

  86. When we have settled the land … all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged roaches in a bottle.

  87. [Gaza already is] a huge concentration camp.

  88. Today, with the US, I know how they are. America is something that can be easily moved.

  89. Both humanitarian aid to Hamas and a demand for arrest warrants against state leaders. The Hague teaches the State of Israel anew the concept of both eating the putrid fish and being expelled from the city. I call to announce an immediate halt to humanitarian aid to Hamas and to boycott the deliberation in The Hague, which condemned us, beforehand, with illegitimate rules.
