The complete remarks are attached: “On Sunday we came out of Shifaa, you are still here. We continue to pressure, both to deepen the achievement, and to try and push forward in the negotiations, to reach a deal to release the kidnappees, this is a top priority, very important. It can only come from increasing pressure, and we will increase pressure, as much as necessary. We will increase the pressure, you are doing this excellently. Another battalion dismantling, another slain commander, another destroyed infrastructure, this is the way to cause pressure that will eventually lead to the release of the kidnappees. One thing is sure – as long as you keep doing what you’re doing, our ability and the national ability to solve these things in a better way is significantly higher, keep going strong, keep bringing good achievements, an end to a procedure, a quality battle drill and move forward”.
