“Everything we do is intended, above all, to bring the sons and daughters home,” Minister-without-portfolio Benny Gantz said, speaking from Tel Aviv on Saturday evening. “All of us, the entire war cabinet, the entire coalition, and the opposition, are committed to doing everything in our power and taking full responsibility for every step to bring them back.”
During his speech, Gantz also expressed his appreciation for personnel of the IDF from all backgrounds, both Jewish and Arab, religious and secular, and political Left and Right.
“In this war, we are right, and we also need to utilize our experience and responsibility and be considerate and wise,” he said. “My colleagues and I joined the government and the cabinet because in times like these, tough decisions are required, and they must be made with as much broad consent as possible.
The Minister-without-portfolio also noted that the fighting will continue, but that Israel is determined and that, after the war, it will have achieved calm and security.
