"Working for the Weak"
"Major Barak Meshulam was run over to death last night during an operational activity," the prime minister said. "The rapist was apprehended by security forces.
Our cops are risking their lives every day, to protect the lives of us all.
I send a map on behalf of the Government of Israel, condolences and deep condolences to his family, his wife Ariela, three-and-a-half-year-old Alma, and one-year-old Leo.
On Friday night, four missiles were fired from Gaza at Israeli territory.
In response, that same night, the IDF attacked targets in Gaza with two waves of attacks, to the extent that they were not prepared for it. This government policy has not changed. For every shooting, for every incendiary balloon, we will respond quickly and forcefully, and without hesitation. For powerful and accurate execution.

During the visit, I made it clear to the President and his staff that Israel opposes the nuclear agreement and reserves full, political and operational freedom of action in the face of the Iranian nuclear program.
The government will today receive a comprehensive report on the president's visit.
Another important issue: Those who entered one of the branches of most retail chains this morning discovered that the prices of uniform bread had not risen.
It involved quick action, along with the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Economy, but we still have work to do.
I thank a map to the marketing networks that agreed to the government's request to wait until a solution is found.
I thank the bakery representatives for working with us to prevent price increases that will hurt the most vulnerable sections of the company.
From day one, this government has acted in every possible way for the benefit of the weak in Israeli society, and it will continue to do so.
