Sooner or later, Israel will have to defeat Hamas. There is no way around it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Israel won't be secure so long as Hamas is in power, and therefore, we need to come to a decision that we will break the will of Hamas to keep fighting.
Hamas's strategy is resistance and survival. As long as they survive, this is a victory.
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
As long as there are no negotiations with the Palestinians, Israel is and will continue to be in a difficult situation.
Hamas says in its charter they want to see a world without Israel. They want to obliterate Israel.
Destroy and damage infrastructure, public buildings and government buildings. Do not leave them any place from which they can operate to damage Israel. We must be sure that Hamas will be spending many years in rebuilding Gaza and not in attacking Israel.
Let there be no mistake, Hamas is a ruthless terrorist organization.
Hamas is really a problem for the Palestinians and for Egypt more than Israel.
If Hamas wants to be part of the real world, it has to end up accepting Israel's right to exist.
The truth about Hamas and Islamic Jihad is that they don't prevent Israel from existing or even flourishing, they prevent Palestine from coming into existence.
