‘Israel must rid itself of Hamas’: Debate about whether ceasefire should continue

Lawyer and writer Alan Dershowitz says Israel can’t put down its arms – amid the talk about whether or not Israel must be allowed to complete eradicating Hamas given the civilian loss of life toll in Gaza.

Mr Dershowitz stated if the Hamas terrorists put down their arms, there could be peace.

“If Israel put down its arms, there could be genocide of the sort that occurred on October seventh,” he informed Sky Information Australia host Piers Morgan.

“Israel can’t – can’t – put down its arms – as a result of we all know what Hamas did on the seventh, they might have carried out to each Israeli if they’d the flexibility to try this.

“And that’s why Israel should rid itself of Hamas.”
