'Israel is close to completing dismantling of Hamas as a military', ex-US envoy Ross says
FRANCE 24 spoke to Dennis Ross, a former US Middle East chief negotiator, who is now a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. The ex-US envoy said he believes that "Israel is pretty close to completing the dismantling of Hamas as a military", which is "back to being a militia and engaging in an insurgency". However, he regretted that there was "no answer on the Israeli side" to the issue of post-war planning for Gaza, saying "I think the Biden administration should be focused on that."
