Ex-IDF chief calls for push for peace with Palestinians

Former IDF chief Benny Gantz says at the INSS conference in Tel Aviv that Israel “needs to find any way to reach a political agreement [with the Palestinians] because otherwise we’ll be stuck in the quagmire.”

He calls on Israel to push for a negotiated resolution of the conflict on the local, regional and global level. “Even if it fails, and we’ll need to continue to live by the sword — we need to be capable to look at our kids in the eyes and tell them we tried.”
