"such a crisis would endanger the continuation of Operation Gideon's Chariots to defeat Hamas," and that "Israel will act to deny Hamas the ability to take control of the distribution of humanitarian aid to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas terrorists."

- From Eli Cohen's letter to his wife Nadia:
To my dear wife Nadia and my family, I am writing you my last words and asking you to always maintain contact between you. I ask you, Nadia, to forgive me and to take care of yourself and the children. Take care of their education. Do not deny yourself or them anything, and maintain contact with my family.
You can marry someone else so that the children do not grow up without a father. You have complete freedom to do so, and please, do not waste your time crying about what was, but always think about the future. 
Do not forget to pray for the repose of my father's soul and my soul.
