"What was realized in "Operation Cast Lead' is that a sizeable portion of Israel's population lives in the settlements around Gaza and within missile range.. We have to take care of the home-front, and that the endless discussions around the building of a hospital in Ashdod have to be resolved. Nearly a quarter of a million people will now have a hospital. We will invest every effort to see that it gets built", pledged Netanyahu.
