In recent weeks, I and several world leaders have made serious efforts to advance peace. 
If President Abbas moves to implement what was signed today in Doha,  he will abandon the path of peace and join forces with the enemies of peace.

Hamas is an enemy of peace. It's an Iranian backed terror organization committed to Israel's destruction. It has not accepted the minimal conditions set by the international community:

Israel’s citizens live their daily lives much like citizens of other countries around the world, but a major difference is that Israelis live under the constant threat of rocket fire.

Not even on the holiest day of the Jewish year were Israelis given the opportunity to rest, as was seen on the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when a coalition of Arab countries attacked simultaneously in an attempt to catch Israel off-guard.

Following are Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting today (Sunday), 5.2.12:

"We have received a reminder about what kind of a neighborhood we live in. We heard the Iranian ruler's remarks about the elimination of Israel.  We saw the Syrian army massacre its own people.  We have seen bloody events in our region.  Various leaders have no moral compunctions about killing their neighbors and their own people alike.

Excellency,

For the third time in the past week, I write to express Israel’s very serious concern about the rockets flying out of the Gaza Strip daily.

On the evening of 1 February 2012 - in the midst of your visit to our region - terrorists in Gaza fired 7 rockets into Israeli communities within the span of an hour. These rockets exploded in close proximity to the City of Sderot - and forced thousands of Israelis to spend the evening in bomb shelters. In the last three weeks alone, more than 20 rockets and mortars have been fired into Israeli cities and communities.

Overnight, IAF aircraft targeted two weapon storing facilities in the northern Gaza Strip, three terror tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip and a weapon manufacturing facility in the central Gaza Strip.

Direct hits were confirmed as well as secondary explosions at several targets.

These sites were targeted in response to the rocket fire on communities in southern Israel. Over 620 rockets were fired at Israel in 2011.

The time has come for the international community to stop “playing games” and get tough with Iran, declared a Knesset member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party.

Warning that “all options are on the table,” Likud Knesset Member Danny Danon urged the West to “stop playing games with Iran and to show them some strength.”

New EU sanctions will have drastic effect on Iran’s economy.
Hamas leader visits Jordan; may move there.
Organization to move HQ from Syria.  

Hamas’ political head Khaled Mashaal visited Jordan on Sunday as he seemingly stepped up his bid to replace Mahmoud Abbas as president of the Palestinian Authority.

It was Mashaal’s first visit to the Hashemite Kingdom in more than a decade. Jordan expelled Hamas’ leaders in 1999 in part because of their efforts to undermine the peace agreement between Amman and Jerusalem.

Leaders vow to learn lessons from tragedy.
Iranian threats loom large over day's sadness.  

The international community commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day Friday, with world leaders vowing not to allow such a catastrophe to happen again.
 "I join people here at home, in Israel, and around the world in commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day, as we mark one of the darkest, most destructive periods in human history," U.S. President Barack Obama said in a statement.
