‘Stop the war!’ Donald Trump wants to suppress Netanyahu

More than 550 retired Israeli security officers, including Mossad, Shin Bet and former army chiefs, have written an open letter to US President Donald Trump to put pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the Gaza war and secure the return of the Israeli hostages.“It is our professional decision that Hamas is no longer a strategic threat to Israel,” according to the news agency AFP, the signators said. The letter issued on Monday was supported by three former Mossad chiefs, Tamir Pardo, Efram Helivy and Danny Yatom with five former Shin Bet Heads, which included Amy Ayalon, Nadav Argaman and Carmi Gilon. Former military heads, such as Ehud Barak and Moshe Yalone also supported the appeal.In a video with the letter, Aaylanon said, “At first this war was a war … but when we achieved all military objectives, this war just a war stopped.” He warned that the conflict is motivating Israel to “lose its safety and identity”.The signators argue that the Israel Defense Force (IDF) has already abolished Hamas’s military infrastructure and governance, and “the remaining senior Hamas operators can be chased later.” They emphasize that bringing the hostage back is a priority and “can be obtained only through a deal.”According to the Jerusalem Post, the move was motivated by the commanders to the safety (CIS) of Israel, a group that included more than 600 retired senior officials. CIS told Trump, “Stop the Gaza war! You did it in Lebanon. The time to do the same in Gaza.” He urged him to support a regional alliance, including Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and a improved Palestinian Authority (PA), administering the later Gaza.The push for a ceasefire comes amid the increasing international criticism of Israeli’s ongoing military operations. Netanyahu lives in opposition to any deal associated with PA, fearing that it may strengthen Hamas’s return and fracture its hardcore alliance. Instead, he emphasizes achieving hostage releases through “decisive military win”.The platform of hostage and missing families has rapidly criticized the stance, called it “fraud” and accused Netanyahu of “the biggest scam formula”. In a statement quoted by The Times of Israel, the group said, “For 22 months the public has now been confused that military pressure and intense battle will bring back the hostages.”Recent hostage videos, including Evatar David and Rome Braslavsky, have increased public resentment. Netanyahu said that the hostages were deliberately hungry by Hamas. He said, “They are dying of hunger, the way the Nazis kept the Jews hungry,” they claimed, to eliminate Hamas and to ensure that Gaza never threatened Israel again.While the Israel cabinet has divided the war that the war is to pursue or pursue a conversation deal, the US is now less towards the temporary ceasefire and wants a wide resolution according to the Israeli Times.
