Ambassador Alona Fisher-Kamm was the guest of franceinfo Tuesday December 5 – (FRANCEINFO)
Guest on franceinfo on Tuesday, Alona Fisher-Kamm assures that Israeli military operations are aimed exclusively at “the end of Hamas in power”.
The path to peace looks difficult in Gaza. “We expect a long war”, confided the Israeli ambassador to France, Alona Fisher-Kamm, in “At the heart of info” on franceinfo, Tuesday December 5. The diplomat was reacting to the words of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, who had warned Israel against taking up arms against the Palestinian Islamist organization Hamas.
“The total destruction of Hamas, what is that? Does anyone think that’s possible? If that’s it, the war will last ten years,” declared the head of state on December 1. To this, the Israeli ambassador responds that the objective of her government is “that the Gaza Strip is not a threat, does not pose a threat to our South”. Before ensuring that Israel shares a “same interest” with the Gazans: “The end of Hamas in power, which endangers its own populations, and not just Israel.“
Could the bombings and operations of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, which left 15,899 dead and 42,000 injured according to the latest Hamas report, strengthen the support of the populations for the Islamist organization, in Gaza and in the other Palestinian territories? “There is a difference between supporting the Palestinian cause (…) and supporting Hamas in Gaza”replied Alona Fisher-Kamm.
