Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has outlined in an exclusive interview with Newsweek what he termed the four 'constraints' in Israel's ongoing war effort against the Palestinian Hamas movement.Barak served as Israeli premier from July 1999 to March 2001, having succeeded current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after his first of what would be three non-consecutive stints in office.
'Even if both sides do not want it, it might happen as a result of friction and skirmishes that happen every day. It can easily deteriorate into full-scale war.'Barak emphasized, however, that 'even if we deal with the whole thing, it will be tougher, it will take a longer time to overcome, we'll have to invest more toil and sweat and tears and blood, but Israel will win.'No Successor for HamasWhat victory looks like for Israel also remains a point of uncertainty.
