NOURNEWS- A secret audio recording has surfaced of a recent meeting attended by senior Israeli military and political figures, providing insights into the challenges confronting the occupying regime in its ongoing war on the Gaza Strip and hinting at potential future courses of action.
Among the notable attendees was Aviv Kohavi, a former Israeli general who served as the 22nd chief of general staff of the Israeli military until January 2023.
In the audio obtained by the Tehran Times, Kohavi expresses confidence in Israel’s ability to systematically manufacture new targets to strike in an attempt to dismantle the Hamas resistance movement. “We have systematic ways to manufacture new targets. Actually, we are very good at manufacturing new targets, and this is an ongoing process while fighting.”
The former general, however, acknowledges that Tel Aviv needs to press its Western allies, led by the United States, to give the regime more time to accomplish its objectives in Gaza.
“I’m not saying we need three years [to capture Gaza], but we can’t complete the mission after three months,” he claims.
The United States and Europe cannot tolerate any other outcome from the war in Gaza other than the “destruction of Hamas”, he points out.
Kohavi also admits that the only way for the Israeli regime to capture Gaza is through a massive campaign of airstrikes on the civilian population. “We are using one-ton bombs, and we are dropping 400 of them every night,” he says.
In addition to discussing military strategies, the former general characterizes the current situation in the Palestinian occupied territories as a “chronic disease” for Israeli settlers.
Kohavi warns that it is only a matter of time before Israeli settlers may decide to abandon what he calls the “holy land” for Jews, suggesting the potential for a mass exodus.
