Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich yesterday gave Hamas an ultimatum: Return all hostages by Saturday, or Israel will start seizing pieces of Gaza territory.

"Israel will expand the agricultural areas of the kibbutzim Be’eri and Nir Oz into the perimeter area of the Gaza Strip, and this land will remain in our hands forever.”

Didi Barnea, head of the Mossad:

"Operation Beepers is a clear example of realizing our mission and expresses familiarity with the adversary. The operation expresses the turning point in the war in the north and the ten days in which the tide turned against our enemy."

"The first shipment to Lebanon, containing only 500 pagers, arrived a few weeks before the October 7 massacre."

The Knesset building was lit up in orange, the evening before the funeral of the three members of the late Bivas family.

Head of the Mossad:

The dilemma in activating the pager operation on September 17, 2024, was very great.

In the discussion in which the operation was approved, two schools of thought were presented, both of which were correct at the time they were presented.

The Prime Minister ultimately made the decision in complete contradiction to the prevailing opinion in the discussion.

40th anniversary of Operation Moshe.

There are two numbers that sum up the whole story: 2500 and 40.

Ethiopian Jewry existed for 2,500 years in East Africa, but with the awareness that it was a temporary place of residence. In contrast, the 40 years in Israel, a much shorter period, are the permanent situation.

There is exile, here is home. There is longing, here is fulfillment. There is what is lacking, here is perfection.

We applaud the generation of the desert that sacrificed so much in 'Operation Moshe', before and after it. I am proud of you, I am proud of them.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker draws a line between Germany in the 1930s and Trump's US: "We see the administration ignoring court orders. I know what happened in the early 1930s with the death of German democracy, and it could happen in the US too."
