Can you say explicitly that you accept that you, too, are responsible for the disaster that struck us on October 7th? And will you support the establishment of a state and non-governmental commission of inquiry
I have already said and I repeat, after the war everyone will have to answer difficult questions, including me. There was a terrible failure here, it will be fully examined, I promise you, there will be no stone left here that will not be examined. Right now, my supreme mission is to save the country and lead our soldiers to total victory over Hamas and the forces of evil. We have another mission, I come now from a shocking meeting with the families of the abductees. It's just heartbreaking and I think the entire nation is united in their pain. We are committed to doing everything possible to bring them back. This is not a simple task, but this mission did not go unnoticed for a moment, and by the way, it also dictated to a large extent the steps we are taking now, and as Minister Gantz said, it is quite possible that the ground operation that we expanded will help us in this sacred mission. That's what we're dealing with now.
The promotion of legal reform diverted the focus from dealing with security issues: Is this what allowed our enemies to attack? And do you regret the Shalit deal?
I said that our enemies depend on us, that refusal is not an option and that during a test there will be no refusal, and I can and am proud to say that there is a mobilization of 130, 150, in certain units 200 percent. It's a powerful thing and that's what I have in mind – victory. As for the Shalit deal, there were very difficult things in this deal, no one ignores it, I certainly don't, there were other considerations as well, we will discuss it.
We hear voices to return the abductees at any price, and there is tension between this and the goal of destroying Hamas and its rule in the Gaza Strip
The answer is no, and I think that although such tension can arise, I will tell you without elaborating I think there was no tension Our consideration to move to the second stage does not in any way conflict with our desire and our ability to return the abductees - I will not elaborate beyond that. A supreme goal is to destroy Hamas and a second goal is to return the hostages. We will do everything possible to meet these goals.
