Economics Minister and Jewish Home Chairman Bennett: Gaza Operation a 'Historic Moment' for Israel

[Purveyor]

Economics Minister and Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett noted the success, so far, of Operation Protective Edge on Sunday, in a Facebook post entitled "Historic Crossroads: Now is the Time to Decide."

"The State of Israel is at a historic, deciding moment," Bennett began. "It could decide to end Hamas, dismantle tunnels and disarm missiles - to bring Gaza to a state similar to Judea and Samaria, which is without missiles, launchers, rockets, and tunnels. To put the IDF in control and prevent terror from escalating. It can finish with the conflict between the South and Gaza once and for all."

"We can prove to our enemies, our neighbors, to the world and to ourselves, that we can could overcome Islamic terrorism," he continued. "For the first time in years, it's within reach."

Bennett presented an analysis of the situation, saying that "after three weeks of heavy fighting, this is the situation:"

- Hamas has been severely beaten, but not eliminated.
- IDF soldiers have "removed the rust" and are highly competent.
- The world understands that we have no choice but to fight for our homeland.
- The Jewish people has united like it hasn't in years.
- The Front is solid; the Iron Dome, this time, works almost perfectly."

Bennett then urged Israel not to succumb to international pressure for a cease-fire.
