'This desire to eliminate Hamas in Gaza will only build a generation of jihadists against Israel'

Palestinians across the war-ravaged Gaza Strip marked the start of one of Islam’s most important holidays, Eid al-Adha, with prayers outside destroyed mosques and homes with little hope the war with Israel will end soon. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the harrowing plight of civilians in war-torn Gaza, FRANCE 24's Gavin Lee welcomes Martin Griffiths, Executive Director of Mediation Group International and former UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. Mr. Griffiths is warning that 'this desire to eliminate Hamas in Gaza will only build a generation of jihadists against Israel, which none of us want.' And he is highlighting the fact that 'even senior Israeli political figures' are now expressing their alarm as well.
