Defense Minister Yoav Gallant spoke Monday morning at a Memorial Day ceremony on Mount Herzl, saying, "This is a war of 'there's no choice.' A war which will define our lives for the coming decades. This is a war which will continue until we bring back our hostages, dismantle Hamas' government and its military abilities, and bring the prosperity and creativity back to the State of Israel, and the smiles back to the faces of its citizens."
