Former CIA chief David Petraeus said in an interview with Sky News that Israel should enter Rafah in order to destroy Hamas.
According to him, Israel must establish "fenced communities" in Gaza for the Palestinian residents, and "not make the mistakes we made in Iraq."
Similar to the position of the White House, Petraeus added that the Netanyahu government should prepare for "the day after" the war.
In his first press conference since the outbreak of war against Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid out Thursday, on day 13 of the joint US-Israel offensive, a bold and explicit three-part war agenda that goes far beyond military strikes.
Israeli airstrikes hit a building in the heart of Beirut on Thursday and Israel ordered residents out of another swathe of southern Lebanon, intensifying its offensive against the Iran-backed Hezbollah group.
Israeli strikes battered Beirut's southern suburbs late on Wednesday, lighting up the skyline with flashes of red and setting buildings on fire, after the Lebanese-armed group Hezbollah launched a volley of rockets into northern Israel.
