Israel’s war to “wipe out” Hamas in Gaza, which has killed more than 15,500 Palestinians and displaced about 1.7 million since it started almost two months ago, has no political endgame, merely continuing a century-long conflict, retired US general Stanley McChrystal has told media.
Gen McChrystal, seen by many as the architect of modern counterterrorism, says finding a political resolution is vital but Israel has given the Palestinians “zero incentive” to work towards one.
In an exclusive interview, he said the US must mount pressure on Israel to engage in multilateral talks to secure a long-term resolution to the war.
The veteran commander of campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan stressed there was no military solution.
His remarks come as US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin cautioned Israel that it faced a “strategic defeat” if more was not done to protect civilians.
“It’s necessary but it’s really hard,” he said, of the need for Washington to apply pressure on its Israeli allies.
“I think we are a better friend to Israel if we remind them that they do themselves great damage when they alienate the rest of the world, when they give in to their passions in the moment,” he said, describing the country’s response to the October 7 attack.
“There have to be boundaries.”
At nearly 70, Gen McChrystal does not seem like a man credited with creating what some called “industrial counterterrorism”.
The retired general founded the McChrystal Group, an advisory services firm near the US capital, Washington, but in military circles, he is known for pioneering technology and intelligence-driven strategies.
Tactics he developed led to the capture of Saddam Hussein – an operation he oversaw – the death of Al Qaeda in Iraq commander Abu Musab Al Zarqawi and, ultimately, the killing of Osama bin Laden.
