Former US State Department Middle East Negotiator Aaron Miller, who served under six US secretaries of state on Arab-Israel affairs, told FRANCE 24 on Tuesday that Israel's strategy in Gaza has essentially "broken down" despite its army’s progress in the enclave.
"Hamas is going to survive in some form", and is "likely to continue to play a critical role in the formation of Palestinian politics, both in Gaza and perhaps even beyond that given the weakness of the Palestinian Authority", said Miller, now senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.
