​We must line up to expose those who attack us with lies, false accusations and boycotts. We will gather forces to shatter the lies of our enemies, and will fight for Israel’s right to live in peace and security.
1. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the following remarks :
"Israel holds Hamas responsible for all firing from the Gaza Strip at our territory. I have not heard anyone in the international community condemn this firing ; neither has UN said a word. It will be interesting if this silence continues when we use our full strength to uphold our right to defend ourselves. Let it be clear : The spreading hypocrisy in the world will not tie our hands and prevent us from protecting Israel’s citizens. Thus we have acted ; thus we will act.
