00:00.
00:30We decided on a massive operation in Gaza.
00:33This was the command of the president.
00:35He went, as he said, to the arrest of the Hamas.
00:38And in the way, he thinks that it would lead us to help us.
00:41And I agree with him.
00:42We don't know about the effort, but we don't care about anyone else.
00:45There will be a threat of the government to protect them.
00:49The thing is clear.
00:50Don't come and get out.
00:52We will get out of them so we can get out of the air.
00:55We will get out of the air.
00:57We have no further than what happens.
00:59We don't see it.
01:00This is not the reason.
01:01Okay.
01:05We are told to use the air.
01:08We will fear the air.
01:10We'll challenge it all.
01:12From the end of the year,
01:14we will have to slowly mix the air because of the gas and gas.
01:15So we will rally the air.
01:17We will be í• ê²Œìš”.
01:19We will beensible from the air.
01:23We will kill it.
01:25This is the only way we do it.
01:27It's very close to there.
01:29We are almost at the end.
01:55It's a solution that brings back all the hostages, the living and the deceased ones, so we can stop this suffering, that we the families can find some solace, some closure and stop worrying that every moment might be the last of the living hostages or the last time we know where a deceased hostage is.
02:15All the families are tired. All the families are very scared about this new maneuvering because there's no guarantee that it will get us to where the families want and the people of Israel, which is the return of the last hostage.
02:33The Prime Minister even admits that this maneuvering will bring in only a partial amount of the hostages and that is not what the families want.
02:43The families want a comprehensive deal that releases all of the hostages.
02:47We are here again in the Knesset.
02:50We never thought that we would be back here after almost 20 months and we are here to represent what the people have been saying to us.
03:00The only way to enable this country to heal and to be able to move on to its next chapter is by bringing back all the hostages.
03:11Bring them back and we will be able to rehabilitate ourselves, the families as well as this country as well.
03:18This is not possible.
