Dennis Ross: As Long as Hamas Has Rockets, There Can Only Be a Short-Term Truce
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - "So long as Hamas can have rockets, then the prospect of changing anything in Gaza will be very limited and any calm is basically a short-term calm," former U.S. Middle East envoy Dennis Ross told the Jerusalem Post on Thursday. He urged the international community to link humanitarian aid to Hamas demilitarization, adding that a mechanism would be needed to ensure that humanitarian assistance was not diverted to Hamas for the reconstruction of its rocket arsenal.
