“Israel cannot afford to allow a significant invasion threat to develop on its borders," said the former War Cabinet minister.
(May 6, 2025 / JNS) Opposition National Unity Party leader Benny Gantz on Tuesday called Israel’s 2005 disengagement from Gaza a “strategic error,” warning that renewed discussions of a Palestinian state or territorial withdrawals are “detached from security reality.”
Speaking at the Makor Rishon Settlement Conference in Ofra, Gantz stressed the importance of maintaining full Israeli security control in key strategic areas.
“We must maintain full security control—in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Southern Lebanon, and along the Syrian border,” he said. “Israel cannot afford to allow a significant invasion threat to develop on its borders.”
