A coalition of about 600 retired Israeli security officials, including former intelligence chiefs, has formally requested U.S. President Donald Trump's assistance in halting the ongoing war in Gaza. Their letter argues that Hamas no longer represents a strategic threat to Israel and emphasizes the urgent need to prioritize the release of hostages and alleviate civilian suffering.

Israeli Ex-Officials Urge Trump to Intervene and End Gaza Conflict
A group of 600 former Israeli security leaders appeals to the U.S. president for immediate action to cease hostilities in Gaza.
The group expressed their concerns regarding the Israeli military's continued operations amidst stalled ceasefire talks with Hamas. They highlighted the devastating consequences of the conflict, which has resulted in significant casualties on both sides since the war escalated after Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023. The former officials appeal directly to Trump, leveraging his influence to guide Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu towards a ceasefire, marking a departure from the current military approach.
The former heads of security emphasize in their public letter that while the war was initially justified as a defensive measure, the continued offensive actions have transformed it into an unjust conflict. International reactions are intensifying, with widespread protests against the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and demands for an immediate resolution to prevent further loss of life.
As the war rages on, calls for action grow louder, and it remains uncertain how this appeal will be received or how it will influence U.S. foreign policy in the region.
