Likud hopeful Moshe Ya’alon, a former IDF chief of staff, in his first political rally since announcing his candidacy on the Likud roster, explained that as far as the Arabs are concerned, “we are all settlers,” those living in Yehuda and Shomron, as well as the Israelis living in Tel Aviv and Cholon.

Ya’alon uses documents released by the Arab community to support his statements, adding that despite this, Israel does have the economic and military ability to endure. He further pointed out that while there may differences of opinion regarding the solution, the bigger problem remains that we are not in agreement as to the problem, which he views as the deterioration of Israel’s deterrence abilities.

In reference to Kadima leader and premier hopeful Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, he questions when exactly has she passed the test of leadership, he questioned, citing her failures during the Second Lebanon War and her adamant support for UN Resolution 1701, the ceasefire agreement that until this day goes ignored by Hizbullah.
