MK Ofir Sofer (Right Parties Union) says following the escalation in the south, "The time has come to defeat Hamas even at the cost of ground entry into Gaza," saying the reality where every day of fighting is initiated by Hamas is insane.
"The reactions that Israel has taken so far are only a kind of Tylenol; the State of Israel must preserve its initiative and not let Hamas dictate the pace. The Israeli response should be asymmetrical and disproportionate so that the terror organizations will feel the bitter taste well and over time. There's no choice but to enter on the ground and initiate a long-term military action, and the sooner the better. The fighting in Gaza must be decided."
