(JNS) Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror interviewed by Yaakov Lappin - Former Israeli security officials say the campaign to dismantle the remaining capabilities of Hamas will separate it from Gazan civilians and fundamentally alter the Strip's reality. They argue that only decisive Israeli action can pave the way toward future stability. Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror told JNS that while Hamas may no longer pose a major threat to Israel from Gaza, "it is still a threat to everyone in Gaza." To prevent a future Hamas resurgence, "Hamas must be eliminated, down to the level of threat it poses today in Judea and Samaria." It is "important to emphasize that if we do not go through a long phase of fighting in Gaza for the thorough elimination of Hamas, no third party will help us." "It is likely that we will need to continue fighting for at least a year, in order to clean the Strip of remnants of Hamas rule, terrorists, and infrastructure, and then and only then to try to bring in an entity that will be responsible for the civilian system." Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror was national security adviser to the Israeli prime minister and chairman of Israel's National Security Council. 2025-05-18 00:00:00Full Article
