Chairman Naftali Bennett of the New Right Party said, Tuesday, "From here, I say, with the arrival of Prime Minister Netanyahu, the IDF must be given the order to defeat Hamas, to uproot Hamas from its ability to harm the residents of the south, not to speak of deterrence, but to take the sword to Hamas and break it. There is something to be done and we have to do it.
Speaking at the launch of his party's efforts in southern Israel, the education minister added, "Even the strongest army in the Middle East cannot win when the political echelon does not have the courage. The security leadership is not providing security for the south. It's okay to ask for some time and credit. My plan will also take time until everything is resolved, but the result will be uprooting the root of terror in Gaza."
