Ex-Mossad chief says op ‘now going nowhere’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer Mossad chief Danny Yatom bemoans the fact that the IDF operation is “now going nowhere.”
He says the world is calling on Israel to achieve a truce when Israel actually wants one and can’t get one. He says the only real asset Hamas has left is its leadership, and protests that Israel has not targeted people like Ismail Haniyeh as the leader of a terrorist government.
“We need to put an end to this,” he tells Channel 2. If Egypt can broker a diplomatic solution, with long-term potential for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that would be preferable. If not, the step that might prompt Hamas to accept a ceasefire would be to target the Hamas leadership in Gaza.
