2024: “We, the Jewish people, prefer peace.”
2024: “We will not be in Gaza once the hostages are released and once we are sure that there are no more terrorists or arsenal of terrorists.”
2024: “We weren’t in Gaza prior to October 7, there was a ceasefire. We didn’t start the fire, they did.”
2024: “The Palestinian Authority further escalated its conflict with Israel by ramming forward a troubling resolution… this resolution deserves condemnation by anyone who actually desires Middle East peace.”
2024: “Endorsing this one-sided Palestinian effort now, less than a year after October 7th, only emboldens terrorists and terror supporters.”
2024: “They are not pro-Palestinians. They are pro-terror organizations because they are waving the flags of Hezbollah, Hamas.”
2025: “I can assure you that… if they release the 48 hostages and Hamas terrorists — not the Gazans — will leave Gaza, that will be the last day of the war. We don’t want this war in Gaza.”
2025: “The return of the 48 hostages and the complete removal of Hamas from Gaza are the necessary conditions for ending this war.”
2025: “Those who choose to criticize or condemn Israel for defending ourselves… are serving as enablers of Hamas.”
2025: “Qatar and Hamas are responsible for the safety of our hostages… We must continue to pressure both to release everyone — and now.”
