There is the worldview of Greater Israel, the worldview of settlements: to send citizens to live in those places. That's not about security; that's not about the army. That's about an ideology that believes we need to stay in all of the Land of Israel. I don't share that ideology.

I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is a law.
