Part 6/11:
Yman reflects on the tragic complexity of ending terrorism embedded within civilian populations. Despite advocating for Israel's right to defend itself, he warns against unchecked military action, citing internal debate within Israel’s Defense Forces about the consequences of occupying Gaza. Many experts fear that a full conquest could lead to a protracted, fractious conflict with no clear resolution, as radicalism tends to regenerate from the rubble.
He also notes the broader, cyclical nature of Middle Eastern conflicts, where every war seems to spawn a new generation of radicals. Even if Hamas were eradicated, new insurgent groups could emerge—highlighting the profound difficulty in achieving lasting peace.
