Bennett: "We need to decide, even if Ban Ki-moon doesn't like it""

August 9, 2014   

Following the continued launches towards the Gaza Envelope, the chairman of the Jewish Home party, Minister Naftali Bennett, spoke out sharply against UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and also continues to break to the right.

""This is a testing moment for Israeli deterrence for the coming years. The response must be tough and painful," Bennett said.

""While the world is busy establishing investigative committees against Israel, our children in the south are living under missile barrages. I'm saying a simple thing: We need to decide this campaign alone, whether Ban Ki-moon likes it or not.".

Bennett clarified: "Operation Protective Edge is not over, and Hamas has not yet been defeated, and the residents of Israel need to be strong and alert for what will continue.".

Finance Minister Yair Lapid is also suddenly showing aggressive positions. In an interview with foreign agencies, Lapid said that the IDF will do whatever is necessary to restore peace to the residents of the south: "The State of Israel has a duty to protect the residents of the south. The Israeli government will do everything, whether it is political or military, to ensure this peace for the residents of the south. They deserve it from us and the IDF will do whatever is necessary to ensure peace.".

Lapid added that Israel will not rest or be quiet until it finds and eliminates Muhammad Daif and his gang: "I want to assure Muhammad Daif and his gang from here. We will search for you and we will find you. Just as the US did not rest or rest until it found and eliminated Bin Laden, so Israel will not rest or be quiet until it finds and eliminates Muhammad Daif and his gang for what they have done to the children of Israel and the children of Gaza in recent weeks.".
