"The message that comes from here, no-one can defeat us. I know it's hard, it's painful, the news, the alarms. No doubt. This is part of the war. They want to scare us. They want to undermine our confidence."

He ended by saying "But when you meet the doctors here, the nurses, the families, the mothers, the spouses, the children - you see what a nation is. A nation that's no longer willing to take it. A nation that will fight until it wins. A nation whose soldiers are at the front and who will drive out the enemy. A nation that warns the enemies it faces - you have no chance of success, Am Yisrael Chai."

"To...understand the strength of Israel...go room to room and meet the people here."
