Benjamin Netanyahu, writes in Bibi's Blog:
"... What about Hizbullah? It already surpassed its pre-war level of armament, while they and their patrons – Iran and Syria – bluntly ignored UNSC Resolution 1701.
Despite our warnings, a second pro-Iranian enclave (“Hamastan”) arose in the South.
In both fronts, there was no real advancement in fixing the security defects of the home front discovered during the war.
A year has passed and the nation has been left with a strong sense of discomfort and unease. The country is stuck. Much of the population is feeling a lack of leadership while the leaders are dealing with self-survival instead of statesmanship.
We are hearing of plans for more concessions instead of leading the nation towards safety while adopting a true understanding of reality.
Israel has already made two mistakes in the past seven years by unilaterally withdrawing from Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. This unilateral policy has distanced us from peace instead of bringing us closer to it.
The Palestinians and our other neighbors will choose a path of co-existence and peace only when they understand that the existence of Israel is a solid fact, and that they are facing a country that is unbelievably strong politically, militarily, economically, and socially.
Therefore, today we are in need of a national security plan, made up of fortification of our strength and motivation of foreign governments and public opinion to act against Iran and its affiliates. It seems as if there’s too little being done on this matter. Iran’s president declares his plan to wipe Israel off the map, yet we do not hear an outcry. In addition, Israel’s voice is weak and hesitant."
