EXCERPT:
ABRAMS: "I think it’s going to be what — what I would consider nearly impossible, to destroy Hamas, to eliminate their capability to do harm to Israel and the Israeli people, while simultaneously protecting what some people have estimated as to be a million Palestinians who are in harm’s way. And they can’t get out of harm’s way. And having lived this and seen this myself in a very dense, urban environment, as you’ve mentioned, it requires extraordinary discipline, precision and you — in some cases, you have to not fight to ensure that you have prevented injury to noncombatants. It’s a very difficult task."
