LAHORE – Israel’s former chief of General Staff Lt-Gen Gabi Ashkenazi Monday called on the government to work towards making peace treaties with neighbouring countries, The Jerusalem Post reported.
According to the Israeli newspaper, he made these comments during a farewell appearance before the Knesset (Israel’s unicameral legislature) Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee.
“Other countries [in the region] should be removed from the cycle of conflict with Israel and added to the [list] of countries like Egypt and Jordan, with whom we have strategically important peace treaties,” Ashkenazi told the committee.
