The Arabs Could Offer an Alternative to the Palestinians in Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Ephraim Sneh - Hamas suffered a devastating blow in Gaza. Its military assets, administration, infrastructure and underground tunnels have been destroyed. Israel had proved yet again its military superiority, mainly in anti-missile defense, intelligence, and in precise air strikes. It is impossible to provide a normal life to the Gaza population under the banner of "resistance," which means permanent military conflict with Israel. Several Arab countries, those who struggle with the subversion of Hamas and other like-minded organizations, want to see the Hamas regime in Gaza cease to exist. This is the time for these countries to take action, to offer Palestinians in Gaza an alternative. When the people in Gaza realize once again the calamity brought on them by Hamas, they may welcome a reasonable alternative. The external security of Gaza could be under the responsibility of Egypt. The writer, a former deputy minister of defense, is chairman of the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Strategic Dialogue at Netanya Academic College.
