Former Israeli Security Leaders Urge Trump to Pressure Netanyahu Over Gaza War

Date:

A group of former Israeli security and military officials has called on U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to exert diplomatic pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The defense figures advocate for ending the war in Gaza, securing the release of hostages, and implementing a comprehensive post-war strategic plan for the region. They argue that direct intervention from the incoming U.S. administration is necessary to overcome ongoing political and strategic impasses in Israel.

  • Former Israeli defense officials sent an appeal to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump concerning the conflict in Gaza.
  • The group urged Trump to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to finalize a deal for hostage release.
  • The proposal highlights the need to conclude active military operations in Gaza and transition to a clear post-war governance plan.
  • The initiative reflects ongoing calls from within Israel’s security establishment for a defined long-term strategic outcome.

  1. I am totally impressed. How many times I have said Israel has lost it's humanity. Maybe this is just an evaluation of the dangers to Israel security. But it seems to have a humanitarian effect. Europe is much more in tune to this issue. Israeli hard liners who believe killing a Palestinian also means killing their possible future children should take notice. But hard liners seem to be a majority in Israel. What a black eye and a total shame to see this going on, and on, and on. The Palestinians do deserve blame too.

  2. "Jewish settlers threaten regional stability"????? Iran's been meddling for decades via its proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen firing missiles from both Gaza and Lebanon deliberately targeting Israel's civilian population, imprisoning the Lebanese in their own country via the absolute control of Hezbullah and Iran, fomenting skirmishes in Iraq and Syria for power and control. And not one person including DW said Iran was "threaten regional stability". The beginning of the alleged "red alert" was shown, but why weren't the "550" signatores shown????

  3. No one cares. People stopped caring when Hamas attacked Israel three years ago. A small minority pretending to represent some righteous anger on behalf of the world is just another sham. No one cares in Israel. No one cares in the middle east outside of Iran's axis. No one cares outside of far left politics and advocacy circles.

  4. Its supported by Germany, “to finish the dirty job”. The “settler” not “terrorist” is okay from Germany. They love genocides and killing people of color.

  5. Notwithstanding what this man says, the immense majority of Jews in Israel and elsewhere want more terror and more blood. Certainly, the asshole who rules America would never intervene; it is ridiculous to plead with a gangster who committed lots of murders, himself.

  6. Because he's not really conducting the war economy cycle in a way that keeps colonization possible. They need the populations alive to test their "battle tested" products running for selling in the worldwide war market. They need to make populations to depend on their water , energy, food and banking supply of services to make money. It's just the math.

  7. Who cares what they say? They hate Netanyahu just like the left in the U.S. hates Trump. They are not thinking logically. If anything, support within Israel for actions unrelated to Gaza is in massive numbers. The internal Israeli friction is in the context of Gaza, not in any other context, and even that, post-October 7, barely exists except among a few bored old people.

  8. The DW presenter is asking for evidence of government support for settler violence in the West Bank, is he kidding me? Again he asked if the settler violence can lead to regional conflict? In my mind , what caused 7th October ? Hypocrisy at the highest level.

  9. For the October 7 attack to succeed, so many coincidences had to occur that the attack looks extremely like an inside job. Some facts: "The military’s vaunted 8200 signals intelligence unit was not operational near the Gaza border on the morning of October 7 due to a two-year-old decision to reduce personnel and halt operations overnight and on weekends, a new report alleged Monday; Two companies of troops from the IDF’s Commando Brigade, which were deployed to the Gaza border during the Jewish holiday season in September and October, were sent to the West Bank just two days before Hamas’s October 7 massacre; The Nahal Oz base was overrun by Hamas gunmen on the morning of 7 October and more than 60 Israeli soldiers are reported to have been killed – with others taken hostage. The BBC has found: Many Israeli troops there were unarmed . " ( Sources: TimesofIsrael; BBC )

  10. 50% of Israelis want to treat Palestinians as non human. That explains the mass murder in Gaza and what is happening in the West Bank. These are brave Israelis to speak out against this madness, but they are a minority of sane Israelis now. Sadly.

  11. Not many Americans know how much the US taxpayer gives to Israel in aid. Over $4 billion each and EVERY year and this year another $19 billion for the war against Iran, which Israel instigated and started, sucking the US into this mess.

  12. DW never reminds viewers that the ICJ found Israel to be an unlawful occupier, that Israel ignored the provisional measures, that Israeli figures have active arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and that the Israel is on trial for genocide and also ignored those provisional measures.
