Three reserve soldiers, Staff Sergeant Major Nati Deri, Staff Sergeant Ido Keren, and Captain Noa Segal addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan for the occupation of Gaza in an interview with ynet studio. "It's one step forward and four steps back - we feel there's no decisiveness on the ground," said Deri. Staff Sergeant Keren, founder of the "Shoulder to Shoulder" organization, added that "it's a disgrace that on one hand they talk about occupation, and then only about occupying Gaza City." Captain Segal said, "The Prime Minister said there's no intention to remain in Gaza the day after, so what then? Who will control it? Who guarantees we won't be in another round?"
