Rami Igra, former head of the Prisoners and Lacking Individuals Department of the Mossad, spoke this Tuesday morning with Anat Davidov and Udi Segal at the 103FM radio, after Hamas rejected the present proposal for a hostage deal.”I don’t believe the rest has modified since our remaining dialog. Hamas stated from the start, ‘We call for an finish to the warfare,’ now not a ceasefire. They added a wide variety of alternative calls for to it, the recovery of the Gaza Strip and the withdrawal of the IDF. Briefly, what they call for from day one is a go back to the state of issues from October 6 and their endured life. The other to that is sporting out the warfare till the IDF’s finish targets. Hamas is a spiritual motion able to die on its sword. For some reason why, and I did not know it, we’re carrying out negotiations with ourselves and the American citizens about costs; they did not get there in any respect. The query of the associated fee is the query of the mediators and the American citizens; Hamas has time and again stated, ‘You do not meet our calls for,'” Igra started his phrases.”With the entire ache, and there in reality is gigantic ache, the State of Israel has no risk of creating the deal Hamas is calling for. The State of Israel should take into consideration the State of Israel, the citizen should take into consideration his circle of relatives and his kids, brothers, and so forth., and the state should assume now not simplest about them but additionally about you, me, and our long run. Is that this tolerance till we achieve a ceasefire or endurance for the discharge of the hostages? The time for the survival of the hostages is far shorter. On this topic, we should take into account something, the associated fee we pay, in spite of everything, isn’t the prisoners we liberate however the long run we’re marching against. As we noticed within the Schalit deal, it used to be now not 1,027 prisoners, it used to be 2,000 deaths thus far. No longer that Schalit is accountable for this, the State of Israel is accountable for this. Our pondering that it’s imaginable to resolve this, to comprise it, as we did earlier than October 7 in Gaza, is incorrect.” Israel and the IDF in the end aided Hamas and terrorism”There is not any option to entire the paintings later on. Once we make a deal of this type and commemorate the victory of Hamas, we will be able to see what we noticed a couple of days in the past in Dolev. We’re strengthening the axis of evil; we’re development it as we constructed Hamas within the Schalit deal. We wish to remember the fact that magic is not going to finish this battle the following day morning. If that they had left Gilad Schalit in captivity, then we wouldn’t have [reached this point]… We bolstered Hamas, we most popular Hamas to the Palestinian Authority,” endured Igra.”Simply as the cost of the 250 folks killed within the flooring maneuver is, sadly, a important worth. Sure, in warfare, there are important costs. However at this time, Hamas has no actual want to make a deal, and it’ll now not make one both. It needs survival and its endured life, and as of this second, it’s Israel that has controlled to embarrass itself a number of the international locations in this sort of manner that by means of the following day, the arena will convey Israel to a ceasefire. Hamas will come to long run negotiations in a fully other place of energy that we have got completely no talent to take care of,” Igra concluded his phrases.
