Israel’s enemies called to ‘surrender unconditionally’

Former foreign minister Alexander Downer says Israel’s enemies must “surrender unconditionally” for the war to end.

“The bottom line here is Israel has to win,” Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“Its enemies have to surrender unconditionally, and the hostages handed over.”

The IDF has wiped out US’s most wanted for years ….US should be thankful to Israel.

[a.a.]

They will not surrender; after all, many are living in luxury while their people are at the receiving end. Israel needs to press on.

Well said Mr Downer . We Allies should be standing strong with Iseral .

If you left it to the Americans nothing would get done just talk . The Israelis have done what the Americans can't do.

There is no way to let "western" leaders and Israel understand that "unconditional surrender" doesn't mean the same thing to Hamas, Hezbollah and other similar organizations as it does to "westerners".

To those Hamas, Hezbollah and similar, it means "tell them what they want to hear and regroup to attack again later". "Fade into the desert" is the old words for it.

This has been proven over and over.

Bravo Alexander Downer, always a pleasure to hear from you! Standing with Israel from Australia.

Correct. Surrender. Unconditionally. Not negotiate. Tell that to the US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin.

Unfortunately, appeasement never creates peace!

"Israel’s enemies called to ‘surrender unconditionally’ "
Does that include the "united nations" ????

[LukeSouthwell-nl]

NO person, entity or nation or nations can DEFEAT God Almighty's Israel! Period!

I've always said this; Israel is having existential threats from all sides. They need all the support they can get.

[elenatramsti]

Alexander Downer is absolutely right. I'm amazed he was once in the government. He is way too rational, intelligent and sane.

Asking to a ceasefire shows the cowardly of some "leaders"

[dannykeaney]

second time I have been impressed with Downer, what he is saying to my way of thinking is 100%
