Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu addressed yesterday's protests held as part of the "Day of Stoppage" in an interview with ynet studio, saying: "There is a great desire among the Israeli public to see the hostages at home. Tactically this is not right." According to him, "it creates motivation for Hamas. There is no other way in all of history to win wars without taking risks." Eliyahu reiterated his call to conquer and resettle Gaza, saying: "Of course we will establish - we will conquer Gaza. And that is what will bring back the hostages."
