PM briefs foreign ambassadors on possible Gaza ground operation to 'reassert Israeli deterrence'
"“If an alarm is sounded, people in southern Israel — one million people — have 15 seconds to find shelter. I don’t know if any of your governments will accept this reality. I cannot accept this,” he told some 50 ambassadors in Ashkelon. “The world needs to understand that Israel has the right and duty to defend its citizens. We will act to stop the rocket fire.”"
