Can Hamas actually be eliminated? This is what military and security analysts think
Retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, former Commanding General of U.S. Army Europe
“To ‘eliminate’ or destroy Hamas, Israel will have to destroy the root cause of Hamas, its reason for existence. That means Israel will have to accept progress towards a two-state solution and Palestinian statehood for Gaza and the West Bank.
Hamas cannot have a leading role in governing Gaza but Israel’s refusal to accept the two-state solution only guarantees continued efforts by Hamas to destroy Israel.
