(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - The Israeli war cabinet understands the immensity of the task that Jewish history has thrust upon it. What's the goal? Banishing Hamas from the face of Gaza. The day after the war, Hamas will not be in Gaza: Not a "downsized Hamas" nor a "deterred Hamas" nor a "civilian Hamas." No Hamas. Someone else will be running Gaza. It might be the Palestinian Authority, as the Americans would like. It might be an international entity or some other body that will pop up. But not Hamas. How will this objective be attained? The answer is a broad conquest of Gaza on the ground. The invasion won't begin immediately. It's well understood that the longer the aerial pounding continues, the easier it will be to enter on the ground. The Israeli residents of the Gaza border area will not return to their communities unless the threat is gone.
