Netanyahu's office: Israel considering all deals, including to end Gaza war:

We received the greatest gift imaginable – news that our beautiful son Edan is returning home after 583 days in captivity in Gaza.— Edan Alexander's family speaks about his return home.

What do you call a reality in which there is a military presence, checkpoints and supervised funnelling of aid? That’s right: occupation.— Alon Pinkas, former Israeli consul general to the US and political adviser to two former prime ministers, Shimon Peres and Ehud Barak.

You're on the wrong side of humanity and you're on the wrong side of history.— Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, stated this in a speech regarding the international response to the conflict in Gaza.

The killing of Mohammed Sinwar is another blow to Hamas’ leadership.— Benjamin Netanyahu, in a speech before parliament.

The time has come to achieve true national victory - one that includes bringing home all the hostages and beginning the restoration of Israeli society.

— The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which represents many hostages' families, welcomed the prime minister's announcement about Mohammed Sinwar.

I was sleeping and I thought the house fell on us. I went into a state of shock… I thought I was a martyr.— A teenage boy, Ahmad Al-Safi, who had been displaced from northern Gaza, describes his experience after an airstrike in Khan Younis.

Hamas must lay down its arms. Its leaders will be allowed to leave.

— Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, during a cabinet meeting.

The deliberate starvation of an entire people is a monstrous strategy, openly endorsed by cabinet members – horrifying, illegal and counter to Jewish morality and collective memory.— Oliver Sears, commenting on the Israeli government's actions in Gaza.

Fewer than 24 hostages are still alive.

— Sara Netanyahu, overheard interrupting her husband during a meeting.

We're here because we want the hostages home. We're here because we don't believe that the war in Gaza today, currently, is justified at all.— Arona Maskil, a 64-year-old demonstrator, said this during a protest in Tel Aviv.

Netanyahu demanded that Bar obey him in the event of a constitutional crisis instead of following the instructions of the Supreme Court.

— Ronen Bar, head of the Israeli domestic intelligence service Shin Bet, in his sworn statement.

If we capitulate to the dictates of Hamas now, all the great achievements of the war, which we achieved with the merit of our soldiers and our fallen and our heroic injured, all these achievements will disappear.

— Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, in a recorded message to the citizens of Israel.
