Top Israeli security officials urge for restarting PA talks

Over one hundred high ranking security officials in Israel, including two former Mossad heads and three retired police chiefs, issued a letter to the Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday, urging him to restart the PA talks, with the intent of reaching a 'two state' offer.

In the letter, which is set to be published in several Israeli newspapers over the next week, the officials further say Israel may reach a comprehensive peace agreement not only with the Palestinians, but with a number of key states throughout the Middle East as well.

Amnon Reshef, a retried Major-General and former Commander of the Armored Corps, said he initiated the letter following Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

“During Operation Protective Edge, I saw a respectable cooperation between Israel and the moderate Arab states – Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia,” Reshef said during an interview with Channel 2 News Friday.

“I hoped that after the operation, the prime minister would begin some sort of political process. That did not happen, I saw no positive reaction," he said.

Reshef admitted that the letter was born out of a deep concern for the security and for the future well being of Israel.
