Ex-UK Defense Chief: Israel's Killing Spree Could Prolong Conflict For 50 Years

The Tory grandee also conveyed to the Daily Telegraph that Israel's current tactics in the war with Hamas will "prolong the conflict for another 50 years."

Wallace further warned that the ongoing war could "radicalize young Muslims across the world."

He emphasized, "Going after Hamas is legitimate; obliterating vast swathes of Gaza is not. Using proportionate force is legal, but collective punishment and the forced movement of civilians are not. Israel needs to abandon this crude and indiscriminate method of attack and combat Hamas differently."

This statement from a senior British politician follows Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's rejection of calls for a ceasefire.

Foreign Secretary David Cameron also intervened, urging a "sustainable" halt to the war amid growing global concern over increasing civilian casualties.

Despite protests erupting over various incidents, including the Israeli army mistakenly killing three Israeli hostages, murdering Christian women inside a Gaza church, slaying an Al Jazeera cameraman, and shooting two unarmed Palestinians in the West, where more than 800 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops since Oct. 7, the Israeli Prime Minister vowed to "fight to the end" and claimed to have his people's support.
