Interview Opportunity with David Rubin, Former Mayor of Shiloh, Israel
The U.S. continues to pressure Israel to determine “the day after” the Rafah initiative ends, raising the critical question: Who will govern Gaza? Secretary of State Anthony Blinken reiterated the Biden administration’s position that Israel should not have military control over Gaza at the end of the war, a stance seemingly supported by Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and an expert on Israeli politics and security, offers his insights into this complex issue and its implications for Israel’s future.
Q&A:
1. Has the U.S. position promoting Palestinian Authority rule in Gaza been consistent?
2. Is it interference in Israel’s internal affairs for Secretary of State Blinken to take such a position and pressure Israel’s prime minister?
3. Defense Minister Gallant seems to be supporting the American position. Why is that, putting him at odds with Netanyahu?
4. Is it against the interests of Israel to hand over Gaza to Palestinian rule?
5. Is Fatah (The Palestinian Authority) better than Hamas to govern Gaza?
6. You have referred to Palestinian control of Gaza as a mortal danger for Israel. Some people would say that’s an overstatement. How do you respond to that sentiment?
7. Tell us about Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund.
8. Where may we get more information on your fine organization?
