"With the exception of Rafih, the military Hamas is disbanded; the war in the north? Without American backing you don't fight" - voila! news. General (ret.) Israel Ziv expressed his position regarding the occupation of Rafah in an interview with 103fm and said that "the issue has become international and we should have done it sooner" In addition, he criticized the government due to the fact that the north has been abandoned and in order to go to war we "need some kind of American approval or backing"
