Former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot of the Israel Defense Forces said in an exclusive interview with Yediot Ahronot to be fully published tomorrow that "the breach of ambiguity in recent times is a serious error that adversely affects state security."

Regarding what is happening in Gaza, Eisenkot said that "strengthening Hamas is a grave error. We need to bring an end to its rule in the strip." On the proposed mutual defense treaty with the United States, he said, "It's an unnecessary alliance. There's no sense to it."
