Ex-Israel Ambassador to US: Israel must take advantage of this moment to root out Hamas before world's empathy wears off
Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren discusses the recent delay of Israel’s invasion into Gaza and why the country must act sooner rather than later before the empathy from the world wears off. Oren saying that empathy is already “wearing off and and I hope we take advantage of this moment, because it's not every day you can call up 360,000 [reservist] soldiers. It's not every day that the United States says you have to carry two StrikeForce is not far from our coast. And we might have this moment again, we might have a swarm again. And if we don't take advantage of this moment, I don't know what the country's future is. I mean, how do you have a country that is attacked, that loses 1500 of its citizens and doesn't doesn't eliminate the threat and doesn't act eliminate the threat and it's not enough just to bomb from the sky. Yeah, you got to go in there and actually root them out else they’ll be back.”
