- Security Concerns: Israel frequently highlights its security concerns, including the threat of terrorism and rocket attacks from Palestinian territories. They argue that their military actions are often in response to these security threats.
- Rejection of Violence: Israel often points out that it has made efforts to negotiate and reach peaceful agreements with the Palestinians, such as the Oslo Accords in the 1990s. They argue that Palestinian rejection of these agreements and continued violence make achieving a lasting peace difficult.
- Humanitarian Aid: Israel contends that it provides humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in the form of food, medical care, and other services. They assert that they do not want to harm innocent Palestinians and that their actions are aimed at combatting terrorist organizations.
