Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 7 July 2005


Re: Urgent appeal to the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff

Professors for a Strong Israel and the Officers' Forum this morning addressed an urgent letter to the Minister of Defense and to the IDF Chief of Staff in which they point to the dangers to Israel's security posed by any change to the demilitarization of Sinai. Dr. Ron Breiman and Brig. Gen. (res.) David Hagoell wrote that, regardless of their views on "disengagement," the minister and the general have an obligation, as guardians of Israel's security, to prevent the fateful mistake of throwing away the primary achievement of the peace treaty with Egypt.
