Begin recalls Ben Gurion's declaration of the abandonment of El Arish and criticizes him for doing the same with Gaza. Begin stresses the importance of Gaza to the security of Israel. He encourages the settlers of the Negev not to abandon their kibbutzim and moshavim and gives hope to the soldiers that fought for the liberation of Gaza that "Gaza was, and Gaza will be, a liberated Hebrew town."
