There were moments when I had to use a veto and prevent what I saw as surrender.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: What is a Palestinian state? It's taking Gaza, multiplying it by twenty, and placing it on the mountain ridge overlooking Israel's population centers.

First and foremost, we must prevent that national-security catastrophe.

There are arrest warrants sought against Israeli leaders. There a
