Blocking Bezalel Smotrich's car at the entrance to Channel 14/according to Section 27 A of the Copyright Law
Minister Bezalel Smotrich was interviewed today (Thursday) by Linon Magal and Yossi Yehoshua on Radio 103FM regarding the approaching abductee deal, and said that "in my estimation there will not be a deal and I don't want to just spread sand and mislead the families".
According to him, the right way to act is an extensive military operation that will lead to a deal under pressure on Yahya Sinaver.
"What will lead to a deal and the return of the most abductees is only if we show determination and the army continues to act as it is now with great intensity and deepen the pressure on Sinwar," he said.
"Sinvar right now, in his mind, on the horse."
The Minister of Finance said these things when he was asked if he was informed about the progress in the negotiations for the release of the abductees, and replied: "I am in talks on this matter with the Prime Minister, as well as with other officials. My opinion is known, and Netanyahu knows it very well. We are obliged to make a great effort to return the abductees - but We are committed to realizing the goal of the war forever, to destroy Hamas, to destroy the threat posed to the citizens of the State of Israel. In no way to surrender to the release of hundreds and thousands of terrorists, this endangers the existence of the State of Israel, endangers all the Jews of the world who may become legitimate targets for kidnapping."

"What brought about the previous deal was unity in Israeli society, an iron fist and a determined and strong army that brings Sinwar to the consciousness that he is on the road to destruction and if he wants a tiny breath of oxygen he has to return abductees to us at prices we know how to live with."
According to him, "I always say, both in public and in meetings with families of abductees, I tell the truth, I don't sell dreams - it's a complex event."

The Minister of Finance added: "So that the Prime Minister and I can continue to talk in a matter-of-fact and truthful way, I think the Prime Minister knows that we cannot be a part of the cessation of war and the wholesale release of terrorists. I really think that the decisions we make now will affect the security of the State of Israel for decades to come. We are in a moment Historical and I look at how Sinwar reads it and how Nasrallah and Iran. We must understand that we are not messing around."
In connection with this, Smotrich was asked if there was a chance that there would not be a deal, and he replied in the affirmative: "Yes, that's my assessment. I don't get the impression that Sinwar is willing at the moment. For him, the abductees are a mega-strategic event designed to perpetuate his rule and we need to understand - the continuation of Hamas rule It's the residents of the south who don't return home, that Hamas is getting stronger again and God forbid it meets us on Shiva next October. Stopping the war means that Hezbollah in the north understands that it can do to us what Hamas did to us, and its capabilities are greater. Iran, the Houthis and the others - this is forbidden agree under no circumstances."

Smotrich added: "Sinvar wants to tear apart Israeli society, he set out on the seventh of October to massacre with the expectation that Hezbollah would join, the Arabs of Judea and Samaria. We are not in a symmetrical war, we need to win, Sinvar just needs to survive. Therefore, in my opinion, there will be no deal, I do not want to mislead the The families. What will lead to a deal and the return of the most abductees is only if we transmit unity, determination, and if the army continues to act as it is acting now with great intensity and deepen the pressure on Sinwar."
"Miki Levy said at any cost," the interviewers quoted the Knesset member from the "Yesh Atid" party, the Minister of Finance replied: "There are those who try to divide Israeli society into those who care about returning the kidnapped and those who don't - there is no greater distortion of reality than this. I want to explain to the public What does the statement mean - let's say that Sinwar will demand an atomic bomb in the Gaza Strip, is this a price for which we will return all the abductees? This is so ridiculous. Will we flood the streets with terrorists who will murder thousands of Israelis tomorrow, God forbid, is this a reasonable price? We are eating the rotten fruits of a deal Shalit, and it started much earlier," he said.
Magal and Yehoshua made it difficult and said that the members of the cabinet, Gantz and Eisenkot, also said similar things.
Smotrich replied: "I have a weakness for Eisenkot, I simply love the man, and he is probably now a bereaved father who has paid a sacrifice, but I think he caused a great deal of damage in his interview with Ilana Dayan. Sinvar hears the former Chief of Staff say, 'Can you stop the war', this is a very big damage.
Even Gadi himself knows it's damage, I don't think that's what he meant."

Later, Smotrich was asked if he regretted the right-wing conference that called for settlement in the Gaza Strip: "I did not participate in the dances and I do not regret the event. The goal of the war remains - the military and civilian destruction of Hamas, the removal of the threat posed and the return of the kidnapped. This is the goal, it is in broad national agreement, And for that, the fighters fight shoulder to shoulder without any differences in attitudes, religion, political outlook."
According to him, "There are those who forcefully pushed us to deal with 'the day after.' And without settlement there is no security. I asked to postpone this discussion, there were those who imposed and set their positions. We cannot be expected not to set our ambitions. That is why the goal of the war has not changed, not to establish a Palestinian state and not to renew the settlement in Gush Katif - to remove the security threat and destroy the Hamas".

Regarding the demand for elections, Smotrich said: "Engagement in politics right now is bad, harmful, takes away the ability to return the kidnapped, it strengthens Hamas and Sinwar. I told the Knesset members yesterday, Sinwar went with us to the previous deal because he understood that we are united."
Regarding the price increases, he said: "Unbearable, there is no justification for it. The shekel is getting stronger, no justification, a cynical exploitation of the situation. Just before the war, Minister Barkat and I were at the forefront of a dramatic law, removing all import barriers, we established a committee headed by the Director General of the Ministry of Finance in the past, unfortunately these moves naturally stopped at the beginning of the war, we are renewing them."
According to him, "There are several markets in Israel, the most prominent of which is the food market which is controlled by strong monopolistic players who take advantage of this power.
This is cynical exploitation.
In my opinion, they are making a cynical use of this situation.
We will dismantle the centralization.
There are two moves here, the import law and we will dismantle these players.
The war and the need to deal with it pushed many other things aside - this will be renewed these days, both the committee and the legislation."
