Top Israeli Security Official: Hamas, Hizbullah Can't Be Trusted
[Ynet News] Roee Nahmias - Both Hamas and Hizbullah will continue to seek Israel's destruction and must not be granted any legitimacy, Amos Gilad, the head of the Defense Ministry's Diplomatic-Security Bureau, told a conference at the Interdisciplinary Center on Monday. He said both Hamas and Hizbullah are "entities with an incredibly radical worldview, but they're flexible in terms of a timetable....They may accept a temporary agreement. However, in terms of their value system, they can always violate such a deal the moment they feel strong enough." "This is what happened with the previous lull....The lull was unlimited and was not restricted to six months, as Hamas claimed. They violated it because they thought Israel is weak and won't enter Gaza." "They are capable of agreeing to a 30-year ceasefire and violating it after 30 days," he said.
