By being here, we constitute the key factor in the Middle East that blocks
the spread of radical Islam, led by Iran and the Islamic State,
and these are also threatening all other elements across the world.
We are no interested in war, but we will do everything
necessary to defend ourselves.
Anyone who thought that through the heinous murder of a resident
of Havat Gilad, father of six, that he will break our spirit
and weaken our hands made a bitter mistake.
The government will regulate the status of Havat Gilad today,
in order to enable the continuation of regular life at that place.
In front of the murderers ― extraction of justice.
In front of those who sanctify death ― we sanctify life.
This is the essence of the government’s policy.
Yesterday our forces operated again, in an attempt to apprehend the last
murderers and collaborators to the murder of Rabbi Shevah,
may he rest in peace. And we will not rest until
we will bring them to justice and we will bring all of them to justice.
The occupation government, trying to take advantage of such
stands which are against our Palestinian nation,
is trying to legalise this settlement today in order to continue
the settlement process. They think it will prevent us
from establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
