"The key to dismantling Hamas is its civilian control"

Prof. Gabi Siboni and Prof. Kobi Michael: "When Hamas implements civilian rehabilitation, it succeeds in organizing its army. Therefore, the civil system must first be dismantled. And in the north - there will be no way to return the residents to their homes and create a good security situation, without occupying a security strip in southern Lebanon."
