National security expert says 'none of this would have happened' if hamas accepted the ceasefire
SUMMARY
Rebecca Grant, a senior fellow at the Lexington Institute, analyzes the latest updates in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Commenting on recent Israeli strikes on Rafah in Gaza, she states that "none of this would have happened" if Hamas had accepted the ceasefire. Grant also affirmed that Israel has the right to pursue Hamas military targets, which unfortunately resulted in civilian collateral damage. However, Grant reiterated that this could have all been avoided if Hamas had agreed to the terms set out in the ceasefire and had not continued to fire rockets into Israel.
