[BTvS-General] The Gaza Crisis: Q and A with Rafi Dajani Brit Tzedek v'Shalom [info@btvshalom.org] 7/11/06
Ephraim Halevy, Mossad head under five Israeli prime ministers and national security advisor to Ariel Sharon, has criticized this strategy as damaging to Israel's vital interests. Halevy said we should not look at Hamas' rhetoric, but look at what it does: Hamas declared a truce 18 months ago and has committed no terrorist acts against Israel since. Palestinian PM Haniyeh has ordered his ministers to seek practical co-operation with their Israeli counterparts and has confirmed that Hamas' self-declared truce is open-ended. Why should Israel care whether Hamas grants it the right to exist, Mr. Halevy asked. Israel exists and Hamas' recognition or non-recognition neither adds to nor detracts from that irrefutable fact.
