Translation of the Hebrew text: "I have no doubt that the problem of security disturbs your rest. True the problem of security at this time is the principal problem of the State. Any person - just like an entire nation - can feel the danger waiting at his door. We are a small nation and any boasting we do will only make a laughingstock out of us. But we are not powerless not in the military sense and certainly not in the moral and political sense. I however am calm and certain that when it comes to the test the Israel Defense Forces will be able to defend our peace and our sovereignty - the Israel Defense Forces is the army of the people and of all its circles and factions."
