Foreign Affairs. The Israelistate’s task now is to bring all the hostages back home and to makeit impossible for Hamas and other adversaries, notably the Iranian-backedHezbollah, to carry out further terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens orpose threats to their security. Simultaneously, the government and thepolitical establishment must accept responsibility for their strategic errors.
