Episode notes
Victory Is More Than Military Success
- Victory in war is not just military domination but whether the enemy no longer shapes your society's agenda.
- Israel’s military success reduced Hamas's threat, but the political and narrative battle over legitimacy remains unresolved.
Push For A Transitional Gaza Administration
- Implement a transitional administration in Gaza that prevents Hamas from governing or reconstituting.
- Use diplomatic and political steps (e.g., the Trump plan and UNSC resolution) to solidify disarmament and removal of Hamas from power.
Narrative Warfare Matters
- Wars target both enemy capabilities and the appeal of their story or legitimacy.
- Hamas's strategy included delegitimizing Israel, so success requires winning the narrative as well as destroying capacity.
