Today, near 8:40 PM, a terrorist arrived toward Huta Gate, which
is one of the entry gates to the Temple Mount.
By means of a knife he stabbed one of the border police officers
who was stationed at the entry to the Temple Mount.
(The terrorist) tried to attack additional police officers.
The officers at the Temple Mount Huta Gate who responded in
a prompt and determined manner neutralized him (terrorist) quickly,
bringing an immediate end to the threat.
We were walking toward the (Huta) gate, I saw suddenly shooting,
I wanted to run with my daughter, I couldn't find my daughter.
I just felt something hit me, don't know if it is a bullet,
I don't know where it (the bullet) came from.
The announcement by the Americans, Israelis and Emiraty, regarding
normalization of relations between the State of the Emirates and
the State of Occupation is unacceptable and so is praying
in the al-Aqsa (Temple Mount) under Israeli sovereignty.
The intruder Israel is the common enemy of the Arabs.
For the Palestinian brothers, I want to give you some brotherly
advice; Emirati citizens are different to Israelis and Americans; you are
used to burning our flags every morning and you beg for
our aid in the afternoon. The people of the Emirates
are different, it's an Arab nation which has dignity; they will not forget.
Your brothers who reside in the Emirates will be expelled
due to your attitudes. For once you have to think
with a logic or at least think.
An important accord with great potential for regional development
that is highly desired for the State of Israel.
I am telling (emphasizing to) you that we cannot take defense-related’ risks.
With that, I reiterate, we must advance this (peace) accord.
I will talk with the UAE Defense Minister, such as (Israeli FM)
Gabi talked with the Foreign Minister of the UAE.
We will support this government’ effort all the while we will assure
thoroughly that Israel’s security interests are preserved.
It is possible to make peace while exercising defensive responsibility.
It (F-35) is the most advanced operational aircraft worldwide.
It is not good for Israel that this aircraft is present
in other places (Mideast). But, this is not the place to discuss
this matter; We must speak with the UAE and Americans to assure
that our security interests are kept. Not in the form of general
statements, but in concrete discussions.
We are prepared and alert in all of our fronts, the north,
center and south. Hamas is playing with fire.
I will assure that the fire will be directed at it.
This equation must end immediately.
Indeed, in the North, we are alert and prepared.
I do not accept any harm of IDF soldiers and I do not accept that
the operations to our north will be ceased, either in Lebanon nor in
Syria ― so far that is necessary to assure Israel’s security.
We do not have any interests in the northern arena other
than preserving security. We insist to safeguard our
security interests also by means of operational activities.
And whomever harms any IDF soldier, it will severely
hurt the other side.
Lebanon experienced a very difficult event in the Beirut Port.
Regretfully, it will experience similar events in other places because
Hezbollah deployed (missiles) throughout Lebanon.
You have rooms with missiles and guest-rooms in the same residence.
What will happen when this missile explodes?
Will the guests continue to drink tea at the same time?
This disaster will reoccur ― it is completely obvious.
I really hope that they (Hezbollah) will not challenge me,
but I am ready for the challenge.
