00:00 Let me make clear Israel's position regarding a ceasefire.

00:03 Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl

00:07 Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities

00:14 with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7th.

00:19 Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism,

00:26 to surrender to barbarism.

00:29 That will not happen.

00:32 Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war.

00:38 This is a time for war, a war for our common future.

00:42 Today we draw a line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism.

00:48 It is a time for everyone to decide where they stand.

00:52 Israel will stand against the forces of barbarism until victory.

00:57 I hope and pray that civilized nations everywhere will back this fight.

01:03 Because Israel's fight is your fight.

01:06 Because if Hamas and Iran's axis of evil win, you will be their next target.

01:11 That's why Israel's victory will be your victory.

01:15 But make no mistake, regardless of who stands with Israel, Israel will fight until this

01:21 battle is won.
