Dear MEPIN Readers,

President Trump recently said, “We will only see the return of the hostages when Hamas is destroyed—and the sooner the better.”But can Gaza truly be demilitarized without a long-term Israeli occupation?

In my comprehensive ILTV interview, I discuss Israel’s plan to finally defeat Hamas in Gaza City and the central refugee camps. With accusations of war crimes and starvation gaining traction in America, is now the right moment for a decisive operation?

Hamas’ strategy has always been clear: survive, drag Israel into a prolonged occupation, and bleed it over time.

I invite you to watch the full interview and share your thoughts. – Eric
