Why Israel’s Security Heroes Are Reaching Out to Trump

A Raw Plea from Israel’s Best

On August 3, 2025, the Commanders for Israel’s Security (CIS), a group of 550–600 retired Israeli security pros, sent a no-holds-barred letter to Trump, begging him to end the Gaza war. Heavyweights like Ami Ayalon, former Shin Bet boss, Ehud Barak, ex-Prime Minister, and Moshe Yaalon, former Defense Minister, put their names on it. Their point? The war, kicked off by Hamas’s vicious October 7, 2023, attack, has done its job, but dragging it out is “ripping Israel’s soul apart”.

The letter lays it on thick: Hamas isn’t a strategic threat to Israel anymore. They say, “Hamas’s power to hurt Israel is kaput.” They’re banking on Trump’s strong bond with Israelis to push Netanyahu toward a Gaza war ceasefire and focus on rescuing the Israeli hostages still stuck in Gaza.

Gaza’s Gut-Wrenching Reality

Since Hamas’s October 7 attack, which killed around 1,200 Israelis and grabbed 251 hostages, Israel’s response has been a full-on storm, leaving over 60,800 Palestinians dead, mostly women and kids, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry. Just yesterday, 94 folks died, 24 while chasing aid. Gaza’s a total wreck homes, schools, hospitals turned to dirt.

Heartbreaking videos of weak Israeli hostages have set off huge protests in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum is tearing into Netanyahu, saying he’s left the captives to fend for themselves. Commanders for Israel’s Security Support Them: “Only a deal can save the hostages, not more bombs.

Trump’s Big Moment

Why Trump’s the Man for the Job

The ex-Israeli security chiefs see Trump as their guy because of his tight connection with Netanyahu and his knack for pulling off huge deals, like the Lebanon ceasefire. The letter shouts, “You rocked Lebanon. Now do Gaza!” With Netanyahu reportedly eyeing a full Gaza takeover, they’re counting on Trump to drag him back to the peace table.

Trump has criticised Gaza’s “real starvation” situation, breaking with Netanyahu’s assertions that the crisis is not severe. His administration, however, walked out of Doha ceasefire talks last week citing intransigence on Hamas’s part.

Netanyahu’s Dangerous Game

Even as the world pleads for a ceasefire in the Gaza war, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly facing pressure from his far-right allies to up the ante, perhaps even with an all-out assault and a long-term occupation of Gaza. Israeli media reports suggest he is inclined to agree, but the senior security group Commanders for Israel’s Security have just published an open letter cautioning that it would “entrap Israel in a catastrophe for generations.” They note that Hamas’s military capability and governing ability have been effectively destroyed, and thus further conflict would be futile and self-defeating.

Gaza’s Pain and the World’s Outrage

A Total Nightmare

The Gaza war has turned life into pure chaos, with UN reports counting 180 deaths from starvation, including 93 kids. Since May 2025, 1,373 Palestinians have been killed near aid drops, many shot while scrambling for food at US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites. The Hamas-run health ministry says 859 died near these spots, run by American security contractors.

World leaders like France’s Emmanuel Macron and the UK’s David Lammy are slamming the crisis, while the International Criminal Court has slapped arrest warrants on Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes.

Protests and Global Pushback

Israel’s streets are exploding with protests demanding the war stop and Israeli hostages come home. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum is ripping Netanyahu apart, saying he’s “dooming Israel and the captives”. Abroad, countries like Germany and Sweden are pushing for a two-state solution and blasting Israel’s aid blocks.
