A permanent ceasefire effective immediately would only allow Hamas to regroup and launch further attacks on Israeli civilians. There can never be a two state solution if Hamas has any significant power. However, A temporary ceasefire such as President Biden has proposed, which would allow for the return of hostages and humanitarian relief for suffering Palestinians, is quite different and is something I support. But any proposal that leaves Hamas with meaningful power is unacceptable to me and most Israelis. So it goes without saying that Hamas can not have any role in a future Gaza if we are to achieve peace. (21:58–22:11)
