I have the duty to protect my people, hurt my enemy, do the best I can with as few uninvolved casualties as possible - I can't have zero innocent casualties - and at minimum risk to the lives of our soldiers.

It's unreasonable to me that there's a government in which the culture minister attacks the institutions she's responsible for. The justice minister attacks the institutions she's responsible for. The internal security minister attacks the institutions he's responsible for. The Cabinet attacks the IDF, and the prime minister attacks everyone.

Netanyahu has taken on the toughest job in the State of Israel, and as someone who truly gives of himself, I consider him a patriot.

Let it be clear: I don't hate Bibi.

As a company commander you have absolute definitions: the mission, the people.

The State of Israel is the strongest in the region and will remain so.

We are a temperate state.

I always said my favorite position was company commander in the Paratroop Brigade.

The latenight hours are apparently those in which the mind runs wild with scenarios and thoughts that during the daytime I know how to direct and organize.

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 sleep at night, but I don't sleep well.

I love to run and do it every day. I run slowly, by the way.

I plan to serve the State of Israel.

I think that at his core, Benjamin Netanyahu is not corrupt.

Israeli Arabs are equal citizens.

There's no shame in longing for peace.

When you have nothing to say, you don't talk.

Don't drag the Mossad into political arguments. These are people who can't defend themselves.

I do not hate Likudniks, I do not hate anyone.

We will maintain security in the entire Land of Israel.

Our system of government in Israel has permitted minority groups and sectarian parties to force their way on the majority.

Israel will never surrender to hatred.

The children of Israel will not grow up in a state where some of its leaders sanctify hatred. I won't let hate win.

I am making every effort to reach out to all party leaders with one clear message: Israel is bigger and more important than any one leader.

In many ways, my life has begun before I was born. It began in the moment my mother Malka walked out of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

I can't consider the Fifth Dimension to be a success story.

I'm not some tycoon and I don't consider myself a businessman.

Throughout our history, our fight for survival and freedom has been empowered by a secret weapon: Our unity.

When I will be the prime minister of Israel, I will embrace all streams of Judaism.

We are part of an inspiringly colorful mosaic of cultures and traditions. I will nurture this pluralism.

The Western Wall is long enough for us all.

As someone who prepared our forces to deal with the multiplicity of operational and strategic challenges our country faces, I am confident about Israel's capability to defend itself.

I will not shy away from the prospect of peace because I believe our people, and any people, should have something to believe in.

I want the children of Israel to believe that there can be a better tomorrow.

Israel will do all in its power to ensure that from Paris to Jacksonville, from Berlin to Manchester, Jews can walk on the streets without hiding their identity.

I'll never miss an opportunity to achieve peace.

Peace between leaders and peace on the ground will strengthen the interests of all.

Israel is truly, for me, before everything.

I love Israel, am proud of it.

My family, my friends, we live in a democratic country and people have the right to express their opinions.

Trust me, I am proud of our country. I will never be ashamed of it.

I am a soldier. That is who I am. That is what I do.

We are Jewish soldiers. Our battle orders include the rules of engagement and the Ten Commandments. The computer code of the F-35 and the moral code of the prophets of Israel.

On my watch, Iran will not become a regional power. And I will not hesitate to use force when needed.

Not like other countries, we will never ask anyone to fight for us.

The capital of Israel is Jerusalem, no matter what.

In a place of pain, there is space for everyone.

After Operation Protective Edge, I visited every one of the bereaved families. Religious and secular, rich and poor, Sephardi and Ashkenazi, Jews and non-Jews.

We must learn to live together, and the framework of Zionism must know how to include everyone.

I will not sit with Netanyahu in the government!
