Former commander of IDF Central Command, Gen. Gadi Shamni (res.), attacked Israel's Hamas policy in a conversation with Arutz Sheva.

Shamni this week attended a new lobby for the return of soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin. "It cannot be that Hamas holds our troops and enjoys quiet for two years, entrenching their regime, digging tunnels; they deter us and we are duly deterred."

Shamni calls to pressure Hamas until they return the soldiers. He recommended arresting all Hamas leaders in Judea and Samaria, freezing monies, and smashing infrastructure.

"Our leaders are indecisive. There is an army, there is the Shin Bet; someone needs to give them the order to end the humiliation Israel has undergone for the past two years." [Hebrew interview]
