Military Pressure Is Not Enough to Win the War in Gaza
(Ynet News) Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Giora Eiland - On Oct. 7, the "State of Gaza" launched a criminal war against the State of Israel. In wars between states, it is customary to exert economic pressure on the enemy state and even impose a siege on it. There is no obligation under international law to provide the enemy state with all its needs. Israel has no territorial or political interest in Gaza, but only a security interest, which means ensuring the complete demilitarization of Gaza for years. Any proposal that can convince us that Gaza will be demilitarized will be acceptable to us. A different strategy is needed that works against the enemy's weaknesses rather than against his strength. The writer is a former head of Israel's National Security Council.
