FRANCE 24 spoke to Ami Ayalon, who was the head of Israel's internal security agency, the Shin Bet, from 1996 to 2000. "As long as he (Binyamin Netanyahu) is prime minister, we shall not have peace [and] security," Ayalon said. The former spy chief said he believes "most of the people who voted for him (Netanyahu) want him to leave his position" and that "he should do it immediately". Ayalon, who is also a former commander-in-chief of the Israeli navy, called for an end to the war in Gaza, saying that there was no military solution possible. He added that everything should be done in order to avoid a second front in Lebanon. He warned: "Unless we shall use diplomacy and political process, we shall not achieve victory [in Gaza]".
