The State of Israel has faced obstacles and challenges to its very survival, with conventional military attacks leading the way to suicide bombers who have killed innocent Israeli men, women, and children.

Through these adversities, Israel has endured with continued strength, conviction, and faith.

I'm in survival mode. There've been a lot of obstacles in the last two or three years.

No one doubts that innocent men, women and children have been the victims of chemical weapons attacks in Syria. And there's no doubt who is responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons in Syria: the Syrian regime.

The security of the citizens of Israel, the future of the state of Israel, this is the Israeli government's responsibility.

Their efforts to put suicide bombers in the center of Israel are always ongoing. This temporary checkpoint prevented a heavier catastrophe.
