Four days into the bloodiest Israel-Hamas conflict in decades, with more than 1,600 people killed and over 6,000 injured, there is still no sign of peace or a ceasefire. Amid discussions that India, known for its diplomatic efforts in the past, could play a crucial role, the former head of Israel’s military intelligence, Major General Amos Yadlin (retd), expressed hope for a “Modi miracle.”
Major General Yadlin stated that Hamas is unwilling to negotiate for peace and likened the organization to a terror group like ISIS due to their brutal tactics. He emphasized that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi could facilitate a breakthrough, Israel would welcome it.

He acknowledged the significant defense cooperation between the two countries and expressed readiness for India to mediate in the conflict.
Regarding the intelligence failures in predicting and preventing Hamas attacks, Major General Yadlin cited operational shortcomings and the adaptability of Hamas tactics to evade surveillance.
