At a right-wing conference organized by the settlement Yesha Council, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich addresses the prime minister: “If you miss the historic opportunity to apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and Gaza, and to reunite the land, the people and our hearts — history will not forgive you.”
On the stalled talks with Hamas, he adds: “There is a limit to how much we can humiliate our national dignity and beg these Nazis for a deal. How much more can we compromise and let [Hamas] mock us?
“I state here clearly: There will no longer be negotiations with Hamas over a partial deal. The only acceptable deal is their complete surrender, the unconditional return of all our hostages, disarmament, demilitarization of Gaza, exile of Hamas leadership, and allowing those who wish to leave Gaza to do so.”
