MK Avi Maoz, leader of the Noam party, voiced serious concerns about Israel's current approach to the Gaza Strip, warning that recent actions risk returning to a failed peace strategy. In an interview, Maoz criticized the government's response to violations by Hamas and called for a return to combat to ensure Hamas' defeat. He also discussed his intention to introduce a bill to apply Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, emphasizing that Israel should act according to its own interests, not external pressures. Maoz further argued that the Trump plan could pave the way for a Palestinian state, which he strongly opposes, insisting that Israel must be the sole state between the Jordan River and the sea.
