'Conditions for next war are laid down in previous ceasefires': Douglas Murray

Author Douglas Murray says Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu knows he is under “incredible international pressure” to wrap up the war in Gaza. Mr Murray sat with Mr Netanyahu for an interview in which he relayed his experience of Israel’s Prime Minister afterwards to Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi. “He also knows Israel has been through multiple rounds of wars in Gaza and everyone starts again because the conditions for the next war are effectively laid down in the ceasefire of the previous one,” he said. “He knows that, if Hamas is left in any way standing, they will regroup and in another couple of years the same thing will happen again. “So, he is trying to fulfill his objective of destroying Hamas – at the same time, he is trying to negotiate the release of the remaining hostages.”
