I do not wish to slander his name, I think Netanyahu ran the country well but his time is up. ”

I have been a soldier and a commander for many years and know how to differentiate between things - not to be busy all the time with the most sensitive matters and to give everything its due attention without having the issues that cause concern to constantly be troubling or worrisome. ”

I pledge that the personal safety of Israeli citizens will not be futile. ”
