Ben-Eliezer is considered a hawk on Foreign Policy and was one of the main architects of the Invasion Of Lebanon as well as a strong proponent for Operation Defensive Shield in Jenin . He has advocated halting peace talks with Palestinians until the widespread bloodshed of Israelis ceased, although he believes once their leadership is able to put a stop to terrorism and abandon it as a political tool there should be "compromise" in final status talks with the Palestinian Authority .
