Economics Minister Naftali Bennett, who is a member of the Diplomacy-Security Cabinet, said Monday that in the end, there will be no alternative to decisively defeating Hamas in Gaza.
“At this point, the Cabinet took the turn that it took, but in the end, Hamas’s declared aim is the destruction of Israel, so sooner or later we will have to go inside, into Gaza,” he told Channel 2.
As for cooperation with Palestinian Authority (PA) chief Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, and the possibility that control of Gaza will be handed over to the PA, Bennett said that “Abu Mazen is a partner for terror, he is a partner in a unity government with Hamas, which fired 3,400 rockets at us, and he funds Hamas terrorists in jail.
“The entire direction of a Palestinian state is over,” Bennett emphasized. “Hamas have ascertained the death of the Palestinian state. All of Israel’s citizens know that a Palestinian state would crush Israel’s economy and bring tunnels to Kfar Saba and rockets on central Israel.”
Bennett reminded viewers that the PA chairman is leading international lawsuits against Israel, and has turned to UN institutions in order to harm Israel.
Bennett implicitly criticized cabinet members for being overly optimistic at a certain point in the military operation. “I think there was a very big and baseless optimism in the initial phases, as if Hamas is down for the count. In the end, a decisive victory needs to be brought about, forcefully and continuously, without letup and without lulls.”
“I am leading a policy of victory, strength and deterrence, and not all sorts of technologies, but rather, a policy that will cause Hamas and all of our surroundings to understand that you do not mess with Israel,” he said. “This has to be brought back, the deterrent approach, or we will not be here.”

Egyptian sources: Sides are 95% of way to agreement
According to Egyptian daily al-Shorouk, the Israeli and Palestinian delegations convened in Cairo to discuss a ceasefire have agreed on 95 percent of the issues, with Israeli refusing only to discuss the immediate establishment of a seaport and an airport, as well as the final tranche of pre-Oslo prisoners that Israel was supposed to free as part of negotiations with Abbas.
Citing unnamed “knowledgeable sources,” the daily reports that Israel has agreed to expand the permitted fishing zone in Gaza’s waters from 3 to 6 miles (approximately 5-9.5 kms); to re-free Hamas prisoners released as part of the Gilad Shalit deal and recently rearrested; and to allow the transfer of salaries to Hamas civil servants.
Israel has reportedly also agreed to reactivate all the crossings into the Gaza Strip, with the presence of EU observers at each crossing. A separate agreement will be reached in the future between Egypt and the PA regarding the reactivation of the Rafah crossing with Egypt.
The daily’s sources also blast Hamas for trying to embarrass Egypt and portray it as indifferent to Palestinian suffering.

Deport ALL the Gazans. Leave nothing but the birds singing. Then Israel will have peace. After all, the entire population of Gaza is hardly more than the population loss in Detroit in the last 60 years.
