Ex-Mossad chief: Hamas gets stronger after every war

Hamas recovers after every war with Israel and gets stronger, Former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy has said.

Speaking at the Jerusalem Post Annual Conference in New York, Halevy said: “Hamas recovers after each war waged against it. Therefore, the Israelis need to rethink about how to deal with Hamas.”

“If Hamas succeeded after 50 consecutive days of fighting, five years of military confrontations, two intifadas and successive military operations, this means that all what we are doing would not achieve our goal. This requires a new way of thinking.”
