More than 600 former Israeli security officials have urged President Trump to end the war in Gaza following the deaths of Palestinians due to starvation. The letter emphasizes that while the Israeli army has dismantled Hamas' capacities, the return of Israeli captives must occur through negotiation rather than military force. The Commanders for Israel's Security (CIS) expressed that there is an urgent need to stop the ongoing conflict, citing a potential for significant change in the Gaza Strip if diplomatic efforts are taken.
Everything that could be achieved by force has been achieved. The hostages cannot wait any longer, the Commanders for Israel's Security (CIS) group said in a post on X.
The letter said the Israeli army has achieved two of its three objectives by force, dismantling Hamas' military formations and governance, but the third, bringing back all Israeli captives, can only be achieved through a deal.
On behalf of CIS, Israel's largest group of former military generals and Mossad, Shin Bet, Police, and Diplomatic Corps equivalents, we urge you to end the Gaza war.
We are at a rare window of opportunity to lead a regional and international move for a fundamental change in the Gaza Strip. Trump has the ability to do this.
