PM Netanyahu at first Unity government meeting

"This is the first meeting of the national emergency government. We are joined by five other ministers - Benny, Gadi, Hili, Gideon and Yifat. We will work around the clock, in teamwork, with a united front. The unity within us conveys a clear message to the people, the enemy and the world. I saw our wonderful warriors who are now on the front line, they know that the entire nation is behind them.

They understand the magnitude of the task. They are ready to act at any moment, to exterminate the bloody monsters that rose up against us for our brides. Hamas thought we would break up? We will break up Hamas!"
