The Gaza Strip still has “hundreds of miles” of Hamastello tunnels. It could take years to eliminate them and defeat terrorist organizations.
“It's going to take some time,” Offia Aknis said during this week's sitdown. “You can stop [the war] Maybe it will take another year or two after Hamas wasn't there. ”
“It took six or six years to beat Germany to the Western world,” Aknis pointed out.
Despite 15 months of heavy bombing before a ceasefire negotiated by President Trump last month, Hamas held a military parade to mark a temporary halt of hostilities, prompting Gaza to speed up in recent weeks I moved to reconfirm.
On Saturday, the terrorist group released three more Israeli hostages in exchange for hundreds of prisoners in Israeli prisons.
If hostilities resume, the war “sees differently” from the fights of the past 15 months, Aknis said.
Aknis has defied to attack President Biden by name, but when asked to compare the approach of the two American leaders to the Powderkigue region, he is able to resist a smile. There wasn't.
“I think there's a new attitude to the American administration right now,” he said.
Israel's invasion of Rafa and the rule of the Philadelphi Corridor Gaza and Egypt were bravely opposed by the Biden administration. This time, he said he “has no doubt” about full national support for what is needed to eradicate the terrorist threat.
“I don't think they'll tell the Israeli government they won't act on the Philadelphi corridors in Rafa.”
Many Democrats and Arab countries in the region continue to hold hopes for a solution for the two states, with President Trump in a new proposal that will allow the US to take over Gaza and the Palestinians there. It destroyed that hope in large part.
Aknis has called it the “first new idea” in the Middle East since the Sykes Picot Agreement. This is a secret treaty between Britain and France that divided the Middle East after World War I.
“The international community must be all open to new ideas,” he added, revealing that the two states' solutions are no longer viable.
“This is our land,” he said. He added that the West Bank, which Israel calls Judea and Samaria, is part of Israel. Conservative members of Israel's governing coalition have long vowed to annex the territory that was once assigned to be part of the Palestinian state.
“Gaza was a Palestinian state,” Aknis thundered. The answer is no. ”
Although population relocations were often adopted to resolve conflicts in the 20th century, such as India and Pakistan in 1947 and Greece and Turkey in 1923, critics say that Palestinians who move Palestinians are “ethnic and ethnic.” It claimed it was cleansing.
“What was it when I asked the Jews to leave the Gaza Strip 20 years ago?” Aknis said. “It's not a Jewish or Muslim problem. It's part of the solution.”
Aknis also had a sharp word for Qatar. Qatar has long-standing Hamas supporters, who have embraced leaders and regularly pump the region with radical Islamic propaganda by the Al Jazeera News Network.
“Qatar has played both sides over the years. On the one hand, it supports and funds Hamas and its allies to Gaza and its allies around the world, while on the other hand, it holds negotiations. This double game It has to be finished,” the consul said.
“Instead of building tunnels underground in Gaza, we need to build towers and new homes on the ground in the Gaza Strip, and we must stop supporting Hamas supporters' violent protests on American campuses. It won't happen.”
