Mark Regev Clear Quotations

We want to send a very clear and unequivocal message that after attacks like this it's not business as usual. We expect them to follow through on their promises -- that these armed gangs be disarmed. Our entire ability to move forward is based on that promise.

If they want people to see them as a legitimate part of a political process, it is very clear what they must do. First and foremost, they must renounce terrorism and disarm. And secondly, they have to support peace and accept Israel's right to exist.

Either they totally cease their nuclear weapons development program or they seriously endanger their relationship with the community of nations.

When you have these attacks you can't go on with business as usual. We want to send a clear message to the Palestinian leadership that they have to do more to prevent violence.

Israel supports the European position. We believe that the international community - through the UN Security Council - must present the Iranian regime with a clear dilemma, either they totally cease their nuclear weapons program, or they endanger their relationship with the outside world.

There were clear indications these killers would be set free. We had to act to make sure these killers would stay under lock and key.
