The Security Cabinet convened this evening and made a series of operational decisions, the goal of which is to achieve the destruction of the military and governing capabilities of Hamas and Islamic Jihad in a way that will preclude their ability and willingness to threaten and attack the citizens of Israel for many years.

The Government of Israel is committed to
achieving the goals
of the war: Releasing the
hostages, eliminating
Hamas and ensuring that Gaza never again constitutes a threat to the
residents of Israel.

Time will tell what damage the moratorium Israel took in battling Hamas has done. It began on November 24 and ended today. Like all Israelis, I am grateful that some 80 captives have come home. At the same time, I have been watching how the release of busloads of Palestinians in Israeli custody has boosted the standing of Hamas in the West Bank.
I believe the
release of terrorists and suspected terrorists has already had deadly
consequences. And I fear precious momentum and time have been lost in Gaza.
Now that
we are back to fighting, I pray for victory and the safety of our soldiers and
security forces.

I am open to running your criticism if it is not ad hominem. I prefer praise, though.
