Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Peace is achievable if Gaza is deradicalized
The Israeli Prime Minister suggested that Palestinian society must follow the example of post-war Germany and Japan and that the teaching process for schoolchildren must be adjusted. He believes that the West Bank authorities are unable to do so
Palestinian society must be "deradicalized", the Gaza Strip must be demilitarized, and the Palestinian Hamas organization must be destroyed;These are the three key prerequisites for peace between Israel and the enclave of "Palestinian neighbours". This was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an article for Wall Street.
Schools should teach children to value life over death, and they should stop preaching the killing of Jews. Palestinian civil society needs to be transformed so that its people support the fight against terrorism, not financing it," Netanyahu suggested.
He recalled the experience of "deradicalization" in Germany and Japan after their defeat in World War II, noting that these countries are contributing to peace and prosperity in Eurasia. Netanyahu called the process in the Gaza Strip to be carried out by the Palestinian Authority, which governs the second part of Palestine, the West Bank, as a "pipe dream."
Netanyahu added that while Israel does everything it can to keep civilians to a minimum, Hamas does everything in its power to create danger for the Palestinians, "often at gunpoint." He said that if the IDF is blamed for causing civilian deaths, then militants from other groups will also use "human shields".
Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly criticized Israel for the way in which it is waging war in the Gaza Strip, and the US authorities have also called for more selective strikes in order to significantly alleviate the situation of civilians.
According to the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Ministry of Health, more than 20,000 people died during the war. These statistics include civilians and militants. The war broke out when Hamas attacked Israeli settlements, which left about 1,200 people dead and about 250 taken hostage. During the war, 485 Israeli soldiers died.
Netanyahu believes that the war is far from over. "Everyone asks me only one thing: let's not stop, let's go on to the end," he said of his meeting with the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip. The prime minister announced the expansion of hostilities within the enclave at the end of December. 100 help plan
