“Israel wants this war to end — but it cannot end with Hamas still holding hostages, still in power,” says former Israeli national spokesman Eylon Levy, as Israel launches its largest military push yet into Gaza City.

In this tense and urgent interview on NewsX World, former Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy explains:

• Why Israel believes dismantling Hamas is the only path to lasting peace after the October 7 massacre
• How the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is being exacerbated by Hamas’s tactics and aid theft
• Why Israeli citizens are protesting — and what they demand from their leaders
• How international pressure may be prolonging the war, not ending it
• Why settlement expansion in the West Bank is about security, not undermining peace

This conversation comes at a pivotal moment in the conflict, as Israel faces growing international isolation, deepening humanitarian criticism, and internal protest pressure.
