Give Hamas 90 days to pick a lane, then react.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sooner or later, Israel will have to defeat Hamas. There is no way around it.
Hamas's strategy is resistance and survival. As long as they survive, this is a victory.
Let there be no mistake, Hamas is a ruthless terrorist organization.
If the withdrawal from Gaza goes badly, obviously, that will set us back.
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
If Hamas wants to be part of the real world, it has to end up accepting Israel's right to exist.
If Hamas were destroyed and gone, we would probably end up with something much worse. The region would end up with something much worse.
Hamas has long been Israel's enemy, but in the wake of the Arab Spring, the group is empowered like never before.
It is high time that the Palestinian people restore their freedom and independence. It is high time that the decades, the long decades of suffering and pain would stop.
We need to see a Palestinian state.
