In a wide-reaching, early June interview in the daily newspaper, Ha\’aretz, the retiring Israeli army chief of staff pulled no punches. He put key existential issues on the table, questioned the wisdom of Israel\’s planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank, debunked the notion of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and said it could lead to a \”situation in which there will be no Israel here in the end.\”
