“We support the Prime Minister and the IDF[2] fighters for fighting in Gaza to liberate the Morag axis.[3] Establishing Jewish settlements along the entire length of the axis is the way to achieve this. On the upcoming Passover night, we will declare to Gaza: Next year, we will celebrate in a Jewish settlement in Gaza!”

“The government's arrangement for bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza is a basic lack of understanding of how Hamas operates. The State of Israel takes responsibility for Gaza. It's not just food distribution, it's also securing access routes, mixing our forces with the population, and later it will also be taking care of all civilian needs such as education, health, and sewage. Why don't we hear an outcry from Hamas about this plan? Because it's good for them. Hamas is happy, it controls all the money flowing into Gaza and receives a high commission for every shekel that enters (between 150 and 200 million shekels enter the Strip every month and Hamas charges a 40% commission on them) and the population that revolted against Hamas will be calm because it will receive food, medicine and equipment. The October Seven government is in the service of Hamas. Netanyahu squandered all the credit he received from Trump and is now doing exactly what Gallant wanted to do a year ago. They don't learn anything.”

“I had the honour and privilege of meeting with senior Republican Party officials at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. They expressed support for my apparent position on how to act in Gaza, and that the food and aid depots should be bombarded to create military and political pressure to bring our hostages home safely."

Itamar Ben Gvir, National Security Minister, Chairman of the Jewish Power Party

“It's a shame we don't learn from mistakes. If our hostages are languishing in the tunnels, there is no reason for a single ounce of food or aid of any kind to enter Gaza. Cutting off aid is one of the main levers of pressure on Hamas and returning it before Hamas gets on its knees and releases all of our hostages would be a historic mistake. I will do everything in my power to ensure that this historic mistake does not happen, and I call on the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence not to take this foolish step, which will harm the ability to defeat Hamas and return all of our hostages safely.”

“When the IDF said they were preparing to return the humanitarian aid, the Prime Minister denied it, Smotrich said that ‘not a grain will get in’ and now the truth is being revealed and the Defence Minister says it's for civilians and not Hamas. Tell me, do you think we're stupid? Hamas fully controls Gaza; all the aid will reach it. The solution is simple - no humanitarian aid until all the hostages are back! It seems that the Israeli government is doing everything it can to maintain Hamas rule in Gaza and to keep the hostages there in the tunnels.”

Tzvi Succot, MK, Religious Zionism Party

“There is no reason in the world that we would send a gram of aid into Gaza while our hostages are languishing in captivity. Certainly, when Hamas is flouting every possible international law, some hostages need urgent medical treatment. Humanitarian only for humanitarian reasons. And even then, never into Hamas' hands.”

“Hamas will not set conditions; it will surrender to them! No deal, no ceasefire, no aid - just continued fighting until the Nazis are defeated in Gaza. Increase the pressure, exert all the power and might – until Hamas begs on its knees. Until complete victory.”

Itamar Ben Gvir, National Security Minister, Chairman of the Jewish Power Party

“I see the reports about the debate over who should bring ‘humanitarian’ aid into Gaza: Well, it's a fundamentally stupid debate, because the entire Strip should not receive any ounce of aid as long as our hostages are being held there - neither by an external company, nor by IDF soldiers. This is the current situation, and only by continuing it will it be possible to bring Hamas to its knees and release our hostages by force.”

“The State of Israel will not, God forbid, surrender to Hamas and will not end the war without a complete victory and the realisation of its full goals, which include the destruction of Hamas and the return of all the hostages. The time has come to open the gates of hell on Hamas, to deepen the fighting until the complete occupation of the Strip, the destruction of Hamas, and the implementation of President Trump's plan for the voluntary departure of Gazans for rehabilitation in other countries. Mr. Prime Minister, go ahead. Give the order.”

“At this very moment, the October Seven government continues to pump water and allow the transfer of funds to Gaza – between 150 and 200 million NIS per month. Finance Minister Smotrich is silent on this. I say clearly: We must close all the taps to Gaza. Without the return of all the abductees, no aid should be allowed to pass. Without the dismantling and disarmament of Hamas, there will be no reconstruction. The Palestinian Authority will never return to Gaza, and there will be no longer be any connection between Judea and Samaria[4] and the Strip.”

“If, in the past, when a criminal fired at a police officer who was forced to kill him, there was a stuttering response from the office of the minister, today there is no stuttering, no tut-tutting.

In that case, I want to know how he can be promoted (…) for terrorists, there is no redemption, there is no remedy or rehabilitation.”

“In February, I wrote to the Chair of the Constitution Committee, Simcha Rothman, to urgently convene a discussion on the issue of prosecuting the Nukhba[8] terrorists, when more than a year and a half since the October coup, not a single indictment has been filed against those despicable terrorists. To this day, Rothman hasn't found time for it. On the other hand, today another apparent reason emerged that could be used to attack the head of the Shin Bet and the Attorney General, and Rothman has already hastily announced that he is convening the committee on the subject as early as this Sunday. That's the order of priorities - they're afraid to even talk about bringing the Nukhba terrorists to justice, but to continue to divide and attack anyone who doesn't align with them? With all their might. They are not interested in substance, but rather in narrow political interests.”

“The calls for arson on Arab networks are a declaration of war. Not a demonstration, not a protest - terrorism. They want to see our forests burning, our communities destroyed, and our country brought to its knees. Every moment of restraint is a danger to the lives of civilians. I demand from the government: an immediate closure of Judea and Samaria and an iron-fisted response. We don't wait for an attack - we thwart it. We have learned the lesson from both old and new history. And if anyone hasn't understood yet, we are here to stay. We have no other country, even when our land is burning. You don't scare us. You should be afraid of us. The people of Israel are alive.”

“In the past, we have already seen waves of arson attacks motivated by nationalism, encouraged by terrorist elements. Even today, we see calls on social media from Palestinian terrorists to continue to ignite fires and harm the country. I call on the Israeli government to seriously investigate who is behind the fires and deal with it decisively. We must not turn a blind eye to this kind of terrorism.”

“Years Late: The Leadership of the State of Israel in a Resolute Zionist Declaration. For many years, the Palestinian Authority has been supporting and encouraging terrorism, waging a campaign on the ground in a unilateral manner, while the State of Israel ignores and looks the other way. For the first time, courageous leadership is arriving and sees the reality on the ground. The days of the concept are over. Abu Mazen's systematic and dangerous takeover plan is a war, the occupation of the nation's lands that is carried out daily, although not by tanks but by excavators and heavy engineering vehicles, the threat they pose to all Israeli citizens is equal (…)”

IV. Against UN /International Criminal Court (ICC)

Yulia Malinovsky, MK, Yisrael Beiteinu Party

“The UNRWA laws were supposed to be implemented as early as January, and instead, the government simply did nothing. The High Court has already rejected an interim injunction to stop the laws once. At this point, we should have forgotten that UNRWA existed at least in East Jerusalem. I have a reasonable suspicion that the government is deliberately not implementing the law and is closing UNRWA to give the High Court an opening to stop the law, and why? Now, UNRWA has filed a petition for an interim injunction to delay implementation. If the law had been implemented already in January, then the High Court would have no reason to issue an interim injunction because everything is already signed and sealed. But because the government did not implement the law, the High Court now has an opening. I don't know whether the High Court will accept the petition or not, what I do know is that the government is grossly trampling on a law that was passed by an overwhelming majority in the Israeli Knesset.”

Danny Danon, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN

“It is clear to everyone that the Hague Tribunal is being run as a political tool that serves Israel's enemies, and the UN is silent in shameful collaboration. The decision to reconsider the authority exposes the illegitimacy of political arrest warrants. When international institutions punish democracies and ignore terrorism, they harm not only Israel but also all the values ​​on which the free world is based. Israel will continue to defend itself and, in cooperation with its partners, will not remain silent in the face of hypocrisy.”

“The Secretary-General's statements are biased and disconnected from reality on the ground. Tomorrow, in the Security Council discussion, we will reveal the truth that many of the ‘aid workers’ who were injured in the incident were Hamas terrorists, and some even participated in the October 7 massacre. Maybe one of the UN representatives could explain why terrorists are together with aid workers?”

Danny Danon, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN

“The UN Secretary-General does not stop and continues to repeatedly condemn Israel's security efforts against the Hamas terrorist organisation in Gaza. In each statement, he calls a new for a ceasefire. But as usual, there is not a single mention in his statements of our hostages or of Hamas, which started the war when it decided to massacre Israeli citizens on October 7. The war that Hamas started will not end until the 59 hostages still being held captive return home.”

“One of the central symbols of UNRWA in Jerusalem is the Ammunition Hill complex. When the laws to stop UNRWA's activities were passed, they left, leaving one lone man in charge of the entire compound. Discussion after discussion, we ask the Israel Land Authority why they don't go in and take over the area, and time and time again, they come up with countless excuses. Still, the bottom line is that a single person owns the entire complex, and the ILA is simply afraid, unwilling, lacking understanding of its importance, and incapable. The government can talk as much as it wants about the Deep State, but the person who heads the RMI is an appointee of former Housing Minister Litzman, and he is a Likud man who is very close to Minister Dudi Amsalem. This is what the real Deep State looks like, one of the Likud that sabotages the implementation of UNRWA laws. So, you still want to talk about the Deep State? This is what the ‘governance’ of the seven-man government looks like in October. They are unable to take control of the sovereign territory of the State of Israel in the heart of Jerusalem that is held by a single person, without status."

“If the Anti-Semitic Tribunal in The Hague knew that the Israeli government had done nothing with UNRWA laws and that the terror agency was operating as usual, it would understand that these hearings were completely unnecessary. The laws were implemented, but the entire world is attacking us for nothing and nothing because the government did nothing and nothing to get UNRWA out of here. Just embarrassing.”

V. Additional Examples

Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister, Chairman of Religious Zionism Party

“Since 1967 until today, no such revolution has taken place in Judea and Samaria. I am now concluding an important tour of Judea and Samaria with my friends, Defence Minister Yisrael Katz, in which we closely followed the uncompromising struggle against illegal Arab construction and settlement development. During the tour, we visited many areas in Judea and Samaria, including the communities of Kerem Reim and Sde Ephraim[13], which the government recently recognised. The Israeli government is working to develop settlements in Judea and Samaria. It will not allow the rampant illegal Arab construction that has become a scourge of the state in recent decades. Our government has recognised 28 new settlements since its establishment. In addition, there is increased enforcement in places that were not previously enforced, such as the 918 Fire Area Agreement Reserve and other areas. In the past year, the record for the demolition of illegal Arab construction in Judea and Samaria was broken. Still, at the same time, we understand that to win this campaign, additional strategic tools must be used that will lead to the desired revolution. The settlers are not second-class citizens. The government will insist that they be entitled to security like all Israeli citizens. Judea and Samaria, the cradle of our homeland, the land of the Bible. We are here to stay.”

“Last night we inaugurated the longest scenic route in Judea and Samaria – ‘Hills Forest Scenic Route’. The 2025 revolution in settlement is the largest revolution made since 1967. The Gvot Forest Scenic Route is not only a spectacular nature experience, but also another link in the path of normalising settlement and, above all, an important step in preserving land. We invest in settlement, ​​in infrastructure, tourism, and the connection of Israeli citizens to the Land of Israel. We are promoting many important steps in Gush Etzion, including approval of plans for 3,600 housing units, the establishment of five settlements, accelerated development of road infrastructure, the declaration of thousands of dunams of state land, and more. I congratulate the head of the Gush Etzion Regional Council, Yaron Rosenthal, the head of the Settlement Administration at the Ministry of Defense, Yehuda Eliyahu, the head of the Civil Administration, Brigadier General Hisham Ibrahim, and Deputy Chief of Staff Hillel Roth, for their cooperation and for a vision that connects to the ground and drives Zionism into action.”
