You and your former security service colleagues wrote an open letter to U.S. President Donald Trump on March 11,
00:07
saying that the Gaza war no longer serves Israel's national objectives.
00:13
Can you explain your position and why you and your colleagues felt so compelled to write what was a very impassioned letter?
00:23
Well, first of all, the immediate reason was the hostages.
00:27
We still have hostages somewhere in the tunnels, and they are dying every day.
00:39
And I think that for us Israelis, we believe that the old concept, we rely on each other.
00:51
So we cannot define the essence of victory unless we should bring them back.
01:01
But in addition, when we try to understand the whole idea of this war, it started after the 7th of October in 23.
01:10
It was a just war. It was a war of defense, and we acted against horror and violence used by Hamas.
01:21
But after between six to eight months, the way we understand the battlefield, we achieved all the military goals.
01:29
Good night.
