Whereas a army operation was all the time an possibility, Yagur, additionally a former senior officer in Naval Intelligence, argued that, with US backing and a transparent understanding of Hamas’s vulnerabilities, Israel ought to first discover different methods.
“The rhetoric surrounding the deliberate aggressive army marketing campaign—whether or not to discourage Hamas and stress it into concessions or to conduct a large-scale army operation—provides me, not less than, the impression that after once more, we’re misreading Hamas at this specific second,” he stated.
