Gen. Petraeus praised the 'comprehensive' effort from Israel's leadership but stressed the need to lay out a clear vision of the mission in the Gaza Strip and the post-conflict plan.
Former CIA Director and retired four-star Gen. David Petraeus applauded Israel for its 'comprehensive' response to the Hamas terrorist attack but stressed the need to define the mission and post-conflict strategy to ensure military success in Gaza. 'At the end of the day, it is up to the political leader to make the decision and to define the mission for the military, and the military then gets on with it,' Petraeus told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview.
These plans are being developed, they’ll be decided by and presented to our political leadership.' The divide between political and military leaders remains an important one, according to Petraeus. He clearly delineated between the two several times in his book, and he argued the distinction is necessary because of the chain of command and differing demands each type of leader faces. 'Presidents do need to get reelected,' he noted.
