Votel on Rafah: The Discussion Has Been Whether This Is a Clearance of the Area or an Operation to Go After Hamas

RUSH EXCERPT:
VOTEL: "This is an extra in a difficult situation. The whole campaign and of course Gaza has been here. I am sure the Israelis are thinking through this very, very carefully from my perspective I would certainly be thinking about making sure you’re doing everything possible to address the humanitarian and allowing people to merv, encouraging them to make sure their supplies in place. That we are coordinate with humanitarian aid community to take care of people who have to be moved out of this. The second thing is they have to make sure they have great intelligence. A lot of the discussion has been about whether this is a kind of broad clearance of the area or a more precise operation going after Hamas fighters and leaders. Hopefully it will be more precise and that depends on intelligence for they have to beat working intelligence aspect for the third thing they need to be thinking about is what is the plan after words? What happens after they have done this? One of the challenges that they have with this campaign we are seeing this back in Gaza city is areas where the Israelis have fought through and now have taken their forces out were starting to see Hamas fighters it’s got to be a plan for what happens after words."
