According to French Chapter 24, as many as 500 former officials wrote an open letter on Monday shared with media calling on Trump to “steer” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision.
“In the beginning, this war was a fair war and a defensive war, but when all the military goals were achieved, this war became a fair war,” said Ami Ayalon, former director of Sing Bett Security Services.
The war approaching 23rd month “leaves Israel to lose security and identity,” Ayalon warned in a video accompanying the letter.
The letter, signed by 550 people, including former Chief of Singh Bet and the Mossad Spy Agency, called on Trump to “steer” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israel launched a military operation in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, following the Al-Aqsa flood attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
In recent weeks, Israel has been increasing international pressure to agree to a ceasefire where Israeli hostages released from Gaza and UN agencies can distribute humanitarian aid.
