A group called the Commanders for Israel’s Security (CIS) is calling on President Donald Trump to compel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the current war in Gaza. The Jerusalem Post reported yesterday that three leaders of the group, former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon, and former deputy IDF chief Matan Vilnai, announced they had sent a letter to Trump asking him to intervene.
In the letter, CIS wrote to Trump: “Stop the Gaza War! On behalf of CIS, Israel’s largest group of former IDF generals and Mossad, Shin Bet, Police, and Diplomatic Corps equivalents, we urge you to end the Gaza war. You did it in Lebanon. Time to do it in Gaza as well.” Next, CIS stated: “The IDF has long accomplished the two objectives that could be achieved by force: dismantling Hamas’ military formations and governance. The third, and most important, can only be achieved through a deal: bringing all hostages home.”
