Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to CBS News:

"The only way you got peace in Germany is by destroying the SS. You didn’t say, ‘Oh, well, we’ll leave an enclave of the SS and then we’ll have peace.’ No, you destroyed this murderous regime and then you got peace.

"We have to destroy this murderous regime of Hamas and then we’ll get peace.

"Once Hamas is removed, once Hamas is neutralized, once we disarm Hamas, other possibilities come into mind. But until that happens, yes, we’re going to protect our people. You’re damn right we’re going to do it."
