Hundreds of Israeli ex-officials appeal to Trump to help end Gaza war

A group of 600 retired Israeli security guards, including former presidents of former intelligence organizations, wrote US President Donald Trump to put pressure on Israel to end the war in Gaza immediately.

“It is our professional judgment that Hamas no longer pose a strategic threat to Israel.” He said.

“Your reliability with the vast majority of Israelis increases your ability to direct the Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and the government in the right direction: finish the war, return hostages, stop the pain, “he wrote.

Their attractiveness comes in their reports that Netanyahu forced to expand military operations in Gaza, as their charm stops with Hamas.

Israel launched a destructive war in Gaza after Hamas’s attack in Southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and approximately 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken as hostages to Gaza.

The Ministry of Health, operated by Hamas, says that more than 60,000 people have been killed as a result of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza since then.

The region is experiencing mass deprivation due to the heavy restrictions given by Israel to Gaza. The ministry says that 180 people, including 93 children, have died of malnutrition since the beginning of the war.

UN -backed agencies, Gaza “the worst famine scenario is currently playing,” he said.

The last intervention of the best former Israeli officials came after the release of the videos of two weakened Israeli hostages by Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants.

The videos were widely condemned by Israel and Western leaders.

After the videos were released, Netanyahu spoke to two hostage family and said that their efforts to return all hostages will “continue continuously and ruthlessly”.

However, an Israeli official, which is widely quoted by local media, said Netanyahu is working to release hostages through “Hamas’s military defeat”.

The possibility of a new climbing in Gaza may further an angry the Israel’s allies, which can immediately force the reports of Palestinians who die of hunger or malnutrition for shocking worldwide.

Supporting the families of the pledges, the main group condemned the idea of a new military attack: “Netanyahu leads Israel and hostages to the apocalypse.”

This view, former Mossad Chief Repair Pardo, former Shin Bet Chief Ami Ayalon, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon’a Trump’a said in the letter.

“At first this war was a fair war, the defense war, but when we achieved all military targets, this war stopped being a fair war.” He said.

Former senior leaders are challenging the Israeli security group commanders who have called the government to focus on the return of hostages.

“Stop the Gaza War! In the name of the CIS, Israel’s largest IDF generals and Mossad, Shin Bet, Police and Diplomatic Corps equivalent to the Gaza War. They wrote to the US President.

Israel, widespread destruction in Gaza and the pain of Palestinians broke anger.

Surveys in the world show that the public is increasingly negative about Israel, which is putting pressure on the action of Western leaders.

However, it is not clear which pressure Trump will choose to apply to the Israeli Prime Minister.

The US President constantly supported his ally, although he clearly accepted that there was no such thing in Netanyahu last week.
