Netanyahu: His Leadership Would Topple Hamas Regime in Gaza

The Jerusalem Post has reported that Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu promised that a government under his leadership would topple Hamas on the Gaza Strip in a tour of Ashkelon after Tuesday morning Grad bombing. Netanyahu further noted that "Tzipi Livni and the people of Kadima scoffed at the predictions regarding rocket fire..."

The Jerusalem Post article further reports former IDF chief of staff and Likud candidate Moshe Ya'alon's Gaza comments to a panel on terrorism at the Herzliya Conference:

Israel's withdrawals from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon were construed as "victories to Jihad."

"History has taught us that capitulating to terror only invites more terror," he said. "In the case of Israel, steadfastness against terror also includes standing firm, without discussing any territorial concessions. We have learned that our concessions over the past 15 years have brought upon us only more terror, rockets and bloodshed."
