Panetta met with then-president Abdullah Gül.
Panetta said: “In Israel’s ground operation, every house will need to be fought. Ground operations have dangers. “The problem here is that when they enter Gaza, they will have to fight house to house and, in the end, this may have a high price,” he said. Speaking to Bloomberg, Panetta said: “But if we look at the situation on the other side, it is clear that Israel has made the decision that it is necessary to crush Hamas in Gaza.”
