We are fighting against Hamas in Gaza for lack of any other option, in order to defend our citizens. Hamas terrorist government is not interested in peace, does not take the interests of the Palestinian people into consideration, and continues to fire rockets at Israeli civilians and to call for the destruction of Israel. No country in the world can allow its citizens to live in bomb shelters for eight years. This is intolerable! When we see Israels citizens living significantly more securely and Israels children living the way children do all over the world, without fear of a rocket falling on their heads in the playground, we will end this operation.
