Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following a situation assessment:
"I have just finished – at IDF Southern Command – an assessment of the situation with the Defense Minister, the IDF Chief-of-Staff and GOC Southern Command."

We are in the midst of a campaign. Since yesterday, the IDF has made hundreds of attacks against Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. We have targeted commanders. We have hit many quality targets. The conclusion of the meeting is to further increase the force and pace of the attacks.

Hamas will receive blows here that it did not expect. I know that this also entails patience and a certain sacrifice on your part, citizens of Israel.

Unfortunately, two Israelis have been killed. I ask all of you to listen to instructions and strictly follow the directives of IDF Home Front Command. It saves lives.

We still have a way to go and we will do so together with responsibility and full backing for the attacks that the IDF is making and will make.

PM Netanyahu: "I would also like to say something to Israeli Arabs. There were wild disturbances here yesterday, which we cannot tolerate, by young hotheads. Our directive is to do everything to maintain law and order.

I expect all public leaders, especially leaders of the Arab public, to stand up and condemn these disturbances and do everything to restore the quiet.

We have given instructions that police units be reinforced with additional Border Police battalions. We will reinforce them as necessary in order to maintain law and order in the State of Israel. Here as well, the cooperation of all Israeli citizens is needed.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"We are in the midst of a major campaign – Operation Guardian of the Walls. Yesterday and today, the IDF attacked hundreds of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip.

PM Netanyahu: "We have eliminated dozens of terrorists, including senior commanders. We have bombed Hamas command centers and toppled buildings that serve the terrorist organizations. We will continue to attack with full force.

We have just finished a consultation and assessment of the situation with the heads of the security establishment and we made decisions. Hamas and Islamic Jihad have paid and will pay a very heavy price for their aggression. I say here this evening: their blood is on their heads.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening, at the main Jerusalem Day ceremony at Ammunition Hill:
"We are in a fight on several fronts: Jerusalem, Gaza and elsewhere in the country.

This evening, on Jerusalem Day, the terrorist organizations in Gaza have crossed a red line and attacked us with missiles in the outskirts of Jerusalem.

Israel will respond with great force. We will not tolerate attacks on our territory, on our capital, on our citizens and on our soldiers. Whoever attacks us will pay a heavy price.

Prime Minister Netanyahu at the state memorial ceremony for Ethiopian Jews who perished while on their way to Israel:

A struggle is now being waged for the heart of Jerusalem. It is the struggle between intolerance and tolerance, between law-breaking violence and law and order.

This struggle is not new because it has been waged, in effect, over Jerusalem and the heart of Jerusalem for hundreds of years, since the rise of the three monotheistic faiths.

Sometimes one side was in control and excluded the other two and sometimes they traded places and the same thing happened.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks at the start of the special Cabinet meeting, at Jerusalem City Hall, to mark Jerusalem Day.

Full remarks >>

We are currently witnessing violent disturbances in Jerusalem under the influence of agitators.
Over the weekend, I held ongoing assessments of the situation.

We will not allow any extremist element to undermine the quiet in Jerusalem. We will uphold law and order – vigorously and responsibly. We will continue to guard freedom of worship for all faiths but we will not allow violent disturbances.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"The decision of the International Court to open an investigation against Israel today for war crimes is absurd. It's undiluted antisemitism and the height of hypocrisy.

Without any jurisdiction, it decided that our brave soldiers, who take every precaution to avoid civilian casualties against the worst terrorists in the world who deliberately target civilians, it's our soldiers who are war criminals.

They said that when we build a house in our eternal capital of Jerusalem, it's been our capital for 3,000 years, that too is a war crime.

Prime Minister Netanyahu: "I ask everyone who has not been vaccinated – go be vaccinated. You will have the Green Pass and you will also be able to benefit from it. It is your responsibility.

We are administering vaccines at a pace of around 30,000 a day for people over 50, where most of the morbidity and mortality are. In the coming 2 weeks, we intend to vaccinate over 95% of this age group. Go be vaccinated. Accept the Green Pass and start getting back to life.
