Former Shin Bet, Mossad heads urge Trump to 'compel Netanyahu' to end Gaza war
The Jerusalem Post ^ | August 3, 2025 | Yonah Jeremy Bob

Posted on 08/06/2025 8:52:36 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon, and former deputy IDF chief Matan Vilnai on Sunday announced they had sent a letter to US President Donald Trump requesting that he compel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the current war. This information was provided to The Jerusalem Post ahead of other media.

These top officials, along with top former police and foreign ministry officials, lead the Commanders for Israel’s Security (CIS) group – which now makes up over 600 former senior security officials – in making that call on Trump to intervene.

'Stop the Gaza War'

In the letter, CIS wrote to Trump, “Stop the Gaza War! On behalf of CIS, Israel’s largest group of former IDF generals and Mossad, Shin Bet, Police, and Diplomatic Corps equivalents, we urge you to end the Gaza war. You did it in Lebanon. Time to do it in Gaza as well.”

Next, CIS stated, “The IDF has long accomplished the two objectives that could be achieved by force: dismantling Hamas’ military formations and governance. The third, and most important, can only be achieved through a deal: bringing all hostages home.”

Moreover, they argued, “It is our professional judgment that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel, and our experience tells us that Israel has all it takes to deal with its residual terror capabilities, remotely or otherwise. Chasing remaining senior Hamas operatives can be done later. Our hostages can’t wait.”

There is a well-known disease wherein former Generals who become Israeli government officials go insaneand betray the nation. Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak were the most notable examples of this. Yitzhak Rabin was always insane, so it was no surprise he would become a traitor. But it always happens.

This somehow reminds me of a similar 51 intel heads letter that got sent to Trump. Israel has a far left rot inside of it just like the US.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

A very senior security official says in the last hour: 
Iran is planning to attack Israel with a preemptive strike;
 it is not unlikely that Israel will strike Iran first. 
Expect developments on the matter. (Yossi Eliezer)

I agree, Israel SHOULD end the war in Gaza - move in and occupy all of Gaza, finally hunting down and arresting any remaining Hamas fighting members.

So come; get cheap RT tickets to Athens and book RT to Israel with an Israeli airline to make sure you get in. Remember to apply for your tourist visa online; Israel is trying to screen out the leftist pro-Hamas activists by requiring visas now.

I respectfully disagree, at least if I understand what you mean by "hunting down and arresting". Israel shouldn't be required to try to determine who in Gaza is Hamas and who is an innocent bystander. Israel should be able to kill indiscriminately until all in Gaza surrender. When an enemy wears civilian clothes while attacking your civilians -- the gloves come off and the Geneva conventions go into the trash (at least the parts about fighting only the enemy's military).

The Enemy Within has been a Jewish problem ever since the Exodus.

What is amazing is how — occasionally but not rarely — genuine people, even great patriots, can sometimes go rotten.
Ariel Sharon will go down as a prime example of this. Rabin too.

Israel hasn’t found an effective way to prevent or deal with this problem. Realistically, neither has America though it is perhaps a more visible problem in Jerusalem than WashedUpDC?

Possibly they understand the actual situation over there. They certainly understand the complex history better than a lot of people over here who comment on the Middle East.

Depends on the issue; even an extreme anti-Netanyahu protester due to hostage issue supported the dismantling of the Iranian nuclear capabilities.

Other haredim deserted him over the draft law.

Exactly. And none of these FR warmongers have children in the IDF or family members being held hostage.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the shining examples of a proper course of action.
