00:00If Hamas stays in power, it will regroup, rearm, and attack Israel again, and again, and again, as it has vowed to do.
00:09So Hamas has got to go.
00:12Ladies and gentlemen, even with Hamas's greatly diminished military capability,
00:17the terrorists still exercise some governing power in Gaza by stealing the food that we enable aid agencies to bring into Gaza.
00:29Hamas steals the food, and then they hike the prices.
00:34They feed their bellies, and then they fill their coffers with money that they extort from their own people.
00:41They sell the stolen food at exorbitant prices, and that's how they stay in power.
00:49Well, this too has to end, and we're working to bring it to an end.
01:00And the reason is simple.
01:02Because if Hamas stays in power, it will regroup, rearm, and attack Israel again, and again, and again, as it has vowed to do.
01:11So Hamas has got to go.
01:14Just imagine, for those who say, well, Hamas has to stay, it has to be part of a post-war Gaza.
01:27Imagine, in a post-war situation, in World War II, imagine allowing the defeated Nazis in 1945 to rebuild Germany.
01:38It's inconceivable. It's ridiculous.
01:40It didn't happen then. It's not going to happen now.
01:43This is why Israel will reject any rule for Hamas in a post-war Gaza.
01:56We don't seek to resettle Gaza. What we seek is a demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza.
02:03Only then, only then can we ensure that this round of fighting will be the last round of fighting.
02:11We are ready to work with regional and other partners to support a local civilian administration in Gaza committed to peaceful coexistence.
02:20As for the hostages, I have a message for the Hamas captors.
02:26Let them go. Let them go. All of them.
02:33Those alive today must be returned alive.
02:36And the remains of those whom you brutally killed must be returned to their families.
02:41Those families here with us today, and others in Israel, deserve to have a resting place for their loved ones.
02:48A place where they can grieve and remember them.
02:54This war, ladies and gentlemen, this war can come to an end now.
03:03All that has to happen is for Hamas to surrender, lay down its arms, and release all the hostages.
03:11But if they don't, but if they don't, we will fight until we achieve victory. Total victory.
