We have a duty to get upLance Ami Ayalon, former director of the Shin Bet, the internal security service, in a video broadcast by the movement to support this mail.

This war began as a just war, a defensive war. But once all her military objectives have been reached and a brilliant military victory against all our enemies, she has stopped being a just war. It leads the state of Israel to the loss of its security and its identityestimates Mr. Ayalon.

Three former bosses of Mossad, the external intelligence service, (Tamir Pardo, Efraim Halevy, Danny Yatom), five ex-shin Bet (Nadav Argaman, Yoram Cohen, Ama Ayalon, Yaakov Peri, Carmi Gilon) and three ex-staff (Ehud Barak, Moshe Bogie Yaalon, Dan Halutz) are among the signatories of the letter, and appear in the video.

Israel “on the verge of defeat”, according to the signatories

On behalf of CIS, the largest Israeli group of former army generals, Mossad, Shin Bet, equivalent police and diplomatic corps, we urge you to end the war in Gaza. You did it in Lebanon. It’s time to do it in Gaza alsothey argue with Donald Trump.

[L’armée israélienne] has long reached the two objectives that could be achieved by force: dismantling military training and the government of Hamasbelieve the members of CIS. The third, and most importantly, can only be reached by an agreement: bringing all the hostages home.

We consider, as professionals, that Hamas no longer represents a strategic threat to Israel, and our experience tells us that Israel has everything you need to manage its residual capacities of terror, remote or otherwisethey say.

Track down the last senior Hamas officials can be done laterbut the hostages cannot wait.

Your credibility with the vast majority of Israelis strengthens your capacity to guide Netanyahu Prime Minister and his government in the right directionadd the signatories. Put an end to war, bring the hostages, stop suffering and form a regional-international coalition which helps the Palestinian authority [une fois réformée] To offer Gazanis and all Palestinians an alternative to Hamas and its perverse ideology.

We are on the verge of defeatcomments in the video the former director of Mossad, Tamir Pardo. What the world is witness today is what we have donehe deplores about disastrous humanitarian conditions in the besieged Palestinian territory.

We hide behind a lie that we have generated. This lie was sold to the Israeli public, and the world has long understood that it does not reflect reality.

We have a government that the messianic zealotes have led to a certain irrational directionjust don’t ask for a côté Joram Cohen (Or Bet). They are a minority […]but the problem is that the minority controls politics.
