“Concrete negotiations for a ceasefire, as fragile as it is and as long as it is not a long-term solution, are preferable over an exchange of mutual accusations which will only worsen,” Oron told Yediot Acharonot.
“A ceasefire will not lead to a state of calm for many years, but it’s the most effective, rational and self evident way to bring about a lull at this time, save our citizens in Sderot and the region’s communities,” Oron added.
Although against retaking Gaza, Oron believes the actions against Hamas should be on two levels simultaneously: “Hit Hamas in a calculated and focused manner and work to obtain a renewed ceasefire.”
