‘No Gaza rehabilitation without disarmament’

As the IDF begins a drawdown of forces at the conclusion of the tunnel phase of Operation Protective Edge, a former senior aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urges an adjustment to Israel’s strategy in Gaza.

“There is no rehabilitation of Gaza without disarmament of Gaza,” says Tzvi Hauser, who was cabinet secretary under Netanyahu.

The case for conditioning economic recovery on disarmament is an easy case to make to the international community, he adds in an interview with Channel 2.

“[Currently,] a truck of concrete drives in and a truckful of rockets comes out. Israel has to effect a strategic change in this situation,” says Hauser.
