Two years have passed since the October 7 attack - the horrific slaughter of our brothers and sisters, residents of the Western Negev, and participants at the Nova party. We paid a very painful price. Infants, children, and elderly people were brutally and horrifically murdered by Hamas terrorists. 251 men and women were abducted into the terror tunnels of the Gaza Strip. My wife and I bow our heads in memory of our fallen and slain, whose image will be etched in our hearts forever. We embrace the bereaved families with love, wish a full recovery to the wounded, physically and mentally, and are acting in every possible way to bring back all the hostages, the living and the fallen alike. Our bloodthirsty enemies hit us hard, but they did not break us. They very quickly discovered the enormous power of the people of Israel. The War of Uprising on seven fronts is a decisive war for our very existence and our future. Alongside the immense pain, we feel great pride in our nation’s remarkable resilience. Our soldiers and commanders are delivering powerful blows to those who seek to harm us on every front, both near and far. Whoever raises a hand against us suffers unprecedented crushing strikes. Together we broke the Iranian axis, together we changed the face of the Middle East, together we will secure Israel’s perpetuity. Citizens of Israel, we are living through fateful days of decision. We will continue to act to achieve all the war’s objectives: the return of all the hostages, the elimination of Hamas’s rule, and the assurance that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel. Together we will stand. And together, with God’s help, we will prevail.
