Brig. Gen. Avivi To TML: US Demand To Halt Rafah Operation Is a Call for Israel To Lose the War
IDSF chairman says his organization warned two years ago of need to take over Gaza and that it would have been “wiser to launch the attack on Khan Yunis and Rafah first and then get control of the border with Egypt.”

Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi, chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, speaks to The Media Line about the ongoing war in Gaza, Hamas’ controlling the next narrative, and the US’s calls to halt the Rafah operation.
“And really now it’s in Hamas’ hands. If Hamas agrees to a 40-day cease-fire, and with this cease-fire to basically return the 33 hostages we agreed upon, then we’ll see a cease-fire for 40 days.” Avivi rightfully expected a renewal of the ground invasion in Rafah if Hamas didn’t agree to Israeli terms suitable for the hostage release.
