If the Gaza ceasefire proves stable, Israel will not remain in the Strip.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
The people of Gaza are trapped. Israel has sealed the border, and they have no way to leave the Gaza Strip to do business.
One way or another, Gaza's residents must live in peace with Israel.
As long as there are no negotiations with the Palestinians, Israel is and will continue to be in a difficult situation.
I am working on the assumption that in the future there will be no Jews in Gaza.
The State of Israel is not collapsing and will not collapse.
The one thing that I'm absolutely sure about is that the people of Gaza aren't going anywhere. And neither are the people of Israel.
If the withdrawal from Gaza goes badly, obviously, that will set us back.
Israel's days without Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip are gone and will not return.
Israel will not and should not leave until it is clear that the West Bank can be policed by Palestinians and that the region will not be a source of terrorism against Israel, as Gaza and South Lebanon became when Israel left there.
