“The true history of Israel-Hamas relations… is very simple. It is war, timeout, war, timeout, war, timeout, war, timeout …. Hamas thrives in the wars, because that is all it can deliver and all that it exists for.

Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah want to drag Israel into a permanent state of war. Israel needs… to advocate instead for longer cease-fires, a more hardened border and the flexibility to return to Gaza if Hamas forces it to.”
