After the parameters establishing an emergency government including the government and members of the opposition were signed earlier today (Wednesday), Netanyahu, Gallant, and Gantz gave speeches. The three will form the limited security cabinet making the decisions regarding the war.
Prime Minister Netanyahu was first, beginning to describe the horrors done in the South:
"Citizens of Israel, today we formed an emergency national government. The People of Israel are unified, and today our leadership is unified, as well. We have set aside any other consideration, because the fate of our country hangs in the balance. We will work together, shoulder to shoulder, for the citizens of Israel, for the State of Israel."
"The unity in the nation in times of sorrow and suffering, this unity breaks through our borders, it reaches the whole world. We saw this yesterday with the important and emotional speech by President Biden."
"We are fighting at full intensity, on all fronts. We've moved over to the attack - every Hamas member is targeted for death. Hamas is ISIS, and we will crush and eliminate it as the world crushed and eliminated ISIS."
"I wish to strengthen the fighters, members of the defense and rescue forces who are operating in all sectors around the clock. The whole People of Israel is behind you. I tell you citizens of Israel, and I say here to my colleagues, I tell everyone the words of the prophet Isaiah: 'Man should help his fellow man, and to his brother he will say: be strong.'"
