Likud MK Amit Halevi
has denounced 2 of the Trump administration's envoys for how they're leading Israel to a fiasco:
Likud MK Amit Halevi launched a scathing attack against real estate developer and Donald Trump associate Steve Witkoff, accusing him and his associates of endangering Israel’s security on Monday.
“These people are leading us to the gates of hell,” Halevi said in an interview with Army Radio.
The Likud lawmaker emphasized that the Gaza Strip must ultimately come under Israeli control.
“Sooner or later, Israel will control Gaza – there is no other way,” he said.
Although not mentioned in the Jerusalem Post article per se,
as noted by Hugh Fitzgerald, Halevi also panned Jared Kushner for
his own poor role in this whole affair, and made another vital point that:
Halevi knows, of course, that Israel has a legal right to attack Hamas everywhere in Gaza and to take control of the very territory from which constant assaults on the Jewish state have been made for many years. The apotheosis of those attacks from Gaza was carried out by 6,000 Hamas members on October 7, 2023, when they tortured, raped, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 Israelis.
Gaza belongs to Israel, just as Tel Aviv does, according to Halevi, because both are within the territory assigned by the League of Nations to be included in the Mandate for Palestine, which in time was supposed to become the Jewish National Home and then the State of Israel. [...]
The American negotiators — Witkoff and Kushner — want Hamas to be disarmed, and its leaders sent into exile, but they don’t see a role for Israel in Gaza, which they expect will withdraw all of its troops from Gaza once a government of Arab technocrats takes over. Amit Halevi is not the only Israeli who thinks that this will never do.
You got that right. This is another reason why Witkoff for one is not a suitable envoy,
as noted before.
