"I freely admit that I don't think the calls for an immediate ceasefire or long pause -- which would amount to the same thing -- are right, because that would mean ultimately that Israel leaves Hamas the possibility of recovering and obtaining new missiles," he said in a debate organised by the German regional daily Heilbronner Stimme.
