Boris Johnson lays out Israel’s ‘duty’ to root out the threat from Hamas in his new Mail column.<\/p>\n
The former PM gives a full-hearted endorsement of the country’s right to respond to the appalling terrorist attacks, which saw civilians beheaded and hostages taken.<\/p>\n
But he also cautions at the need to maintain the ‘extraordinary’ process of reconciliation rumoured to have been happening behind the scenes with states such as Saudi Arabia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson also urges Israel to bear in mind that Hamas want to provoke an ‘endless cycle of revenge and violence’.<\/p>\n

Israel has warned civilians to get out of Gaza as it prepares a military campaign – despite concerns from the UN that it is not possible to evacuate everyone in time.<\/p>\n
In a video teeing up his column – which will be in the Daily Mail tomorrow and on MailOnline this evening – Mr Johnson said: \u2018After last week\u2019s barbaric attacks Israel has a right \u2013 a duty \u2013 to eliminate all those in Hamas responsible and to make sure that nothing of the kind can happen again.<\/p>\n
\u2018The question is how can Israel do that whilst protecting the extraordinary process of reconciliation that\u2019s been taking place between Israel and some Arab states.<\/p>\n
\u2018And how can Israel do this without setting up an endless cycle of revenge and retaliation, which is exactly what Hamas wants.\u2019<\/p>\n
