The United States of America forbids Israel from defeating Hamas. They chose a side and it's not our side.
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.
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.
I think we should've gone into Rafah yesterday ... There are no uninvolved [civilians] there. You have to go in and kill and kill and kill ... We have to kill them before they kill us.
On the first day or two we should have killed 100,000 Gazans ... Maybe a few there are human beings. 90-something percent are terrorists and involved. Not uninvolved. There’s no such thing as uninvolved [civilians].
For years, the Palestinian Authority has become accustomed to illegally taking over open areas in Judea and Samaria, but this will not continue under our watch.
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.
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.
There are no half measures. [The Gazan cities of] Rafah, Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat – total annihilation. 'You will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven' – there's no place under heaven.
Rafah, Deir al Balah, Nuseirat? Total Extermination! We'll destroy any semblance of Amalek from under the sky.
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.
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.
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.
[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 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.
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.
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.
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.
No one in the world will teach us what morality is and what norms are.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My reserve, which ends tomorrow, is in the detention facility of Sde Yemen.
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.
7 Boom!
Boys who are now in middle school will still fight in the Gaza Strip, like in Judea and Samaria and against Lebanon.
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.
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.
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.
Doctors working there, like me, are fighting for the life of the patient lying in front of them, handcuffed and blindfolded.
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.
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.
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.
Fasting Ramadan is the best time to kill them! They are weak and tired and no, I have no mercy on them.
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!
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 United Nations is a wasteland.
