Israeli general says there should be a time limit on Gaza war expansion plans

The former commander of Israel’s ground forces Major General Yiftach Ron-Tal has called for a time limit to be put on the government’s upcoming Gaza offensive, reported Al Jazeera on Monday.

“A time limit must be set for the continuation of the war,” Ron-Tal said in comments carried by Israel’s 103FM radio station. “Either we launch a decisive operation that leads to the conquest of the Gaza Strip – in my view, between four to eight weeks – or if that doesn’t happen, I support ending it all and pulling out,” he added.

“Enough with the prolongation of the war,” Ron-Tal said.
