Israel Has the Ability and the Will to Defend Itself
(Deseret News) Amb. Zalman Shoval interviewed by Christian Sagers - Former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Zalman Shoval, who worked with both the George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations, said: "Here we were, without any provocation from our side, attacked by Hamas with hundreds and hundreds of missiles. Most of those missiles, by the way, are either manufactured according to Iranian technology or actually supplied by Iran....If Hamas and its Iranian friends won't be put before a situation where they have to disarm or give some very, very serious guarantees that they won't start something like that again, then we'll just have another round in a few years or maybe in a few months." "The Hamas regime is a dictatorial, extremist regime. They have an ideology, which they don't even disguise, which says they have to destroy the state of the Jews, the state of Israel, and install an Islamic caliphate....Now, the only means by which this is being prevented is because Israel fortunately has the ability and the will to defend itself....Life is continuing. The Jewish population in Israel is steadfast, and even though we are under attack, we are very confident of our future."
