00:00does not represent the large population of law-abiding citizens who are loyal to the
00:05state of Israel. These disturbances against IDF soldiers and Palestinians will not be tolerated,
00:11and we will take very forceful action against this. Israel is a nation of law and a nation
00:16that acts according to the law. As the media continues its obsession reporting on only how
00:22a fringe minority behaves in Judea and Samaria, they conveniently leave out all knowledge of
00:28terrorism that exists in the area. Israel thwarted dozens of potential terror attacks against our
00:34people last week by apprehending more than 50 terrorists and dismantling a Hamas terror
00:41stronghold. Terrorists operated in the Bethlehem area and planned to carry out shooting attacks
00:46against security forces and Israeli civilians. This is what Israel is up against, and we will not
00:53allow terrorism to brew in villages in Judea and Samaria or anywhere in Israel and beyond
01:00our borders. Next, I can confirm to you that Prime Minister Netanyahu is meeting with Mayor Eric Adams
01:07today. Mayor Eric Adams is a great friend to the Jewish people, and we thank him for visiting as
01:12he closes his term as the mayor of New York City. Mayor Adams was there sitting behind us at the
01:17United Nations back in September when Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered his historic remarks at the
01:24General Assembly. I will now take a few questions. Okay. So the first question from Steve Scheer from
01:33Reuters. South Africa's government has raised concerns about the arrival of a plane load of
01:38Palestinians from Gaza, with officials there saying the matter was under investigation. Steve,
01:43I'm reading the remaining response in question that you have here, specifically talking about
01:48Palestinians ending up in South Africa. I don't have much I can share with you on that,
01:53but the Prime Minister has made it clear that if Palestinians want to leave, they should be allowed
01:58to leave the Gaza Strip. And if they want to come back to the Gaza Strip, they should also be allowed to
02:03come back. This is Lior Soroka. According to Al Jazeera, Hamas handed over another body of a deceased
02:13Israeli hostage to the Red Cross. Do you have any additional information on this? I don't have any
02:18official information to share with you regarding this right now. But of course, we are ready to receive
02:24all of our hostages, the remaining three hostages, at any point of the day. We have been ready since
02:31October when this ceasefire plan came into effect. We will be ready. But the only way for us to know
02:38it's actually one of our hostages is when it is confirmed at the Forensic Institute and the family
02:43is also notified of this. But just to reiterate, like I said earlier in the briefing, we have three
02:50hostages that are still in captivity right now. We are demanding for them to be released so that their
02:56families can have a proper burial, but not only, also for Hamas to uphold their side of the agreement.
03:03Remember, they were supposed to release all 48 of our hostages at one time. And here we are,
03:08November 17th, and we still have the remains of three of our hostages in captivity.
03:16Hello, Matthew Duran from ABC News Australia. Can you explain what concerns Israel has about the UN
03:21Security Council motion drafted by the United States? I don't have anything to share with
03:26you on this right now. Jody Cohen for Newsmax. What's Israel's position on the requested US sale
03:33of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia if they haven't joined the Abraham Accords? In terms of this,
03:40Jody, I don't have anything to share with you at the moment. And hi, thanks for doing this.
03:45Lizzie Porter from Turkey, correspondent for the UAE newspaper The National.
03:49Israel has said that it objects to Turkey's role in the ISF for Gaza. Is the US passing any messages
03:56to Israel or pressuring Israel, suggesting that it should drop its opposition to Turkey's military
04:02involvement in the international stabilization force? I know firsthand that the Prime Minister,
04:08Prime Minister Netanyahu, has made it clear and insisted that there will be no Turkish boots
04:13on the ground inside of the Gaza Strip. That's my response to your question there. Lizzie?
04:18Melanie Liebman, does Israel have concerns about the UN resolution? I just responded to a question
04:29regarding that. Okay, those are all of the questions that I see right now. Thank you all so
04:39much for joining. If you have any other questions, you can reach out to us after this. Thanks again for
04:43your time.
