Former Mossad Head Emphasizes Israel's Need for Freedom to Combat Terrorism Effectively
(Jerusalem Post) Former Mossad director Yossi Cohen said on May 12, "Tying Israel's hands in its battle against Hamas in Gaza only serves to tighten the ropes around the hands of the hostages in captivity. Israel must be given a free hand to operate against these vicious terrorists. This requires diplomacy. But it also requires military force. One does not work without the other. Hamas is a cruel enemy with no regard for human life. The whole world must remember this." Cohen noted the loss of 765 soldiers and 834 civilians to acts of terror over the past year. He is president of Friends of the IDF Widows and Orphans Organization.
