Part 6/8:
Conrius warned that unless Hamas's external supporters—namely Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey—pressure Hamas to surrender arms and disarmament, Israel faces a difficult choice. The alternative could involve a full-scale military campaign to remove Hamas, a prospect that would likely result in significant suffering and destruction.
The International Community’s Role and the Path Forward
Conrius criticized the international community, especially Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, for their ambivalence or support of Hamas. He urged these nations to act decisively: to tell Hamas they either surrender, disarm, and accept peace terms, or face destruction. Without such diplomatic pressure, Israel might be forced into a military confrontation to secure its borders and eliminate Hamas’s threat.
