Gaza disengagement a ‘security mistake,’ Herzog says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOpposition leader Isaac Herzog says that Israel’s disengagement from the Gaza Strip was a mistake when factoring in defense considerations.
“From a security standpoint, the disengagement was a mistake because it was done unilaterally,” Herzog tells a conference marking the ten-year anniversary of the pullout.
“I think we have to reach a political agreement. I have no desire to give up land, but in the end we will have to make a decision and set [proper] borders — even at a price. Although I think from a demographic standpoint, the disengagement was not a mistake,” he says.
