Arab Affairs Analyst Slams Eisenkot’s Gaza Plan Israeli Arab affairs analyst Zvi Yehezkeli sharply criticized Gadi Eisenkot’s proposal to train 20,000 non-Hamas Gazans in Egypt to serve as a security force inside Gaza. “Twenty thousand Gazans who aren’t Hamas? Yes, there are — in Gaza’s cemeteries,” Yehezkeli said. He argued that any newly trained and armed force would ultimately be overrun by Hamas, pointing to Hamas’ 2007 takeover of Gaza and seizure of weapons from Fatah forces as a warning against such a plan.
