Kan reviews three war years Goals, threats and strategy

Oct 7

Tali Moreno's panel assesses three years of war. Gili Cohen says Hamas's military/governing destruction was not achieved, rocket suppression and buffer zones improved security without restoring confidence, hostage return was achieved, and wider deterrence remains uncertain. Roi Sharon calls for revising objectives, reducing deployment burdens and recognizing that the present posture is no longer war, while qualifying his view as the maximum attainable victory rather than total victory. Elior Levy quotes Hamas's morning anniversary statement and warns of its civilian control and long-term recovery; Sharon counters with Israeli control, inspected aid and reduced smuggling capabilities. Roi Kais warns of recovering Iranian and growing Turkish/Muslim Brotherhood axes and regional resentment, while arguing that Abraham Accords and Gulf alignment remain viable. These are attributed assessments and recommendations, not adopted state policy.

On October 7, three years after the latest war began, Hamas condemns Israel's humanitarian impact in Gaza and alleged continuing ceasefire violations. CCTV's anniversary account explains that assessment through reported Israeli attacks from the previous evening through that day, Israel's October 6 statement that it would continue targeting Hamas, and UN-agency three-year death/displacement figures. Responsibility and breach judgments remain attributed; recent deaths and cumulative tolls are distinct. Kan quotes the same morning anniversary statement calling Al-Aqsa Flood a historical milestone, asserting a right of resistance and demanding that Washington and mediators compel Israel to implement the roadmap. Elior Levy criticizes the statement and what he considers Hamas's normalization through US contacts. These quoted demands and his assessment remain distinct from CCTV's attributed humanitarian/ceasefire account, without turning either source's judgment into an adjudicated fact.
