Our attempt to integrate local parties into the administration of the Gaza Strip failed because Hamas threatened it and targeted it to deter others.

We will not allow the Palestinians to establish a state and attack us forcefully, and we will not allow the United Nations to prevent us from defending ourselves.

Without ending Hamas’ authority, no party will accept to assume civil administration in the Gaza Strip.

Our goals in the Gaza Strip have not changed, and our moral duty is to recover the kidnapped people.

We killed dozens of Hezbollah members and pushed Al-Radwan's forces away from the border.

Hamas does not act like an organization because we eliminated most of its brigades and most of its operations are either individual or through cells.

Soon we will be required to make a decision to return the Israelis in the north to their homes by agreement or process.

In the absence of any alternative to ruling the Gaza Strip, we will be faced with two bad options: the return of Hamas or Israeli military rule.

I call on Netanyahu to make a decision and announce his opposition to Israeli military rule in Gaza

I am not ready to replace Hamastan with Fatahistan
