TEL AVIV, Israel (Ma'an) -- Israel's former Shin Bet chief Avi Dichter said Friday that Israel would have to take over the Gaza Strip again unless "neighboring countries" assist Israel in stopping rocket fire.
"Israel will have to reconquer Gaza and disband the terror infrastructure of no other political solution is achieved with the help of neighboring countries," said Dichter, a Kadima member of Israel's parliament.
Dichter's remarks, reported by the Israeli news site Ynet, came as Egyptian officials warned that Israel was planning a large operation in Gaza and warned militant groups and Israel to agree to a truce.
Israel unilaterally withdrew its army and settlers from the Gaza Strip in 2005.
