"As the IDF ground operations in the Gaza Strip deepen, the size of the terror entity established in the region over the last two decades has come to light. There is hardly a spot in the public Gazan sphere that has not been used to serve in the struggle against Israel, including an elaborate system of tunnels, weapon storage facilities, snipers’ posts, observation or rocket firing posts, headquarters and safe houses. Gaza - above and below ground - was not a sphere where civil society, economy and politics had properly existed, but an entity dedicated in its entirety to anti-Israel jihad."
"Israel also has the right to demand that the Palestinian education system after the war be closely monitored by an international oversight mechanism, since its contents, particularly in Gaza, had previously served to cultivate the younger generation’s fierce animosity, motivating it to engage in terror."
