Israel-Hamas war to ‘explode’ as Israel warned Gaza invasion ‘will be ugly’ | World | News


The Israel-Hamas conflict will “explode” if Israel keeps “ignoring the Palestine question”, an expert has warned amid reports that a ground invasion of Gaza is imminent.

Israel has bombarded Gaza, killing over 5,000 people, according to reports.

The brutal strikes have come after Hamas terrorists launched an attack on Israel, taking the lives of 1,400, including young infants.

Israel has shared horrifying footage of Hamas’ crimes as its leaders maintain they have no choice but to “destroy” the terror group.

But one expert has warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the conflict will “explode from time to time” if the country continues to ignore the “Palestine question.”

Robert Serry, a Dutch diplomat who served as the U.N. Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, told the New York Times that he and others involved in 2014 peace talks hoped that the more moderate Palestinian leadership in the West Bank would be brought in to lead in Gaza.

He said: “We had hoped that the Palestinian Authority could be brought back.”

Hamas has ruled in Gaza since 2005, when Israel pulled its forces out of the enclave.

Since then, however Israel has controlled what enters and leaves the strip due to security concerns.

With the ground invasion imminent, another warning has been issued by Lt. Col. Thomas Arnold, a U.S. Army strategist.

He told the New York Times that the invasion “will be ugly”, adding: “Cities are the devil’s playground — they make everything infinitely more difficult.”
