With approaching The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip Since completing his fourth month, he is still the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Insists on achieving “complete victory” over the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation), not caring about the positions of the majority of countries in the world that talk about a way to ceasefire and achieve peace.
According to a report by the German News Agency, observers believe that Tel AvivThe government, which boasts the most extreme right-wing government in its history, has lost politically what it had never lost before, in light of the unprecedented positions of many countries in the world, including the camp that initially expressed unlimited support for it following the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation launched by the Hamas movement in The seventh of last October.
Dolly grumbled
With the increasing number of Palestinian martyrs, and in light of accusations of committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip, and with a relative shift in the popular mood in United State And many European countries, and criticism of Israel's support in that war rose, the tone of political support changed little by little until talk shifted away from the mere necessity of allowing aid to enter the people. Gaza strip To the importance and inevitability of the establishment of a Palestinian state, which is an old issue that has not received such support and momentum as it does these days.
The talk increased by the American administrationUnited nations AndEuropean Union On the inevitability of the two-state solution as the only way to end the conflict and establish peace, amid calls from some officials for the need to hold Israel accountable for what it is committing in Gaza.
Analysts attribute the reason behind the political cover being exposed to the long period of the war without clarity of vision and uncertainty surrounding its end in light of the Netanyahu government’s insistence on moving forward with it.
Despite the high death toll and the destruction of most of the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, it does not seem that Israel has yet achieved any of its declared goals for this war. It did not eliminate Hamas, nor freed the prisoners, nor was it able to stop the firing of rockets that rained down Israeli cities and towns.
Tension in relationships
The long duration of the war and the inability of the occupation army to achieve any form of victory in the Gaza Strip also caused tension in relations, as it left Israel with disagreements with the American administration, reaching the point of cutting off communication between President joe biden And Netanyahu for weeks, until the former hung up the phone on the latter, due to his refusal to respond to American demands.
The circle of disagreements expanded to… QatarThe pivotal mediator in the negotiations between Hamas and Israel, as Netanyahu accused her in a leak during his meeting with the families of prisoners held by the resistance of being a “problematic” mediator and urging the families of the victims to increase international pressure on Doha.
On the other hand, Qatar responded by accusing him of being “irresponsible and destructive,” saying that Netanyahu’s leaked statements “risk undermining efforts to secure the release of hostages” detained by the resistance in Gaza.
These differences extended to Egypt According to the Israeli press, which recently published, Netanyahu tried to contact the Egyptian President by phone Abdel Fattah Sisi And the latter refused.
Israel also found itself for the first time in its history in the dock in front of… international justice CourtIn the case of Genocide Which I filed against her South AfricaDuring which she confirmed that Gaza blockade “It amounts to genocide and violates the 1948 post-Holocaust Genocide Convention.”
South Africa revealed that more than 50 countries expressed their support for its cause.
Different speech
Observers observe a difference even in the vocabulary used by international officials to describe the indiscriminate bombing carried out by the occupation forces, which causes the death of many Palestinian civilians.
The most recent of these was the statements of Thomas White, Deputy United Nations Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs in the Palestinian Territories, who described these attacks as “abominable and unacceptable, and must stop,” in reference to what is currently happening in Khan Yunis as fighting intensifies around hospitals and shelter centers hosting the displaced.
White said that the situation in Khan Yunis confirms “the continued lack of respect for the basic principles of international humanitarian law. All measures must be taken to protect civilians.”
If these international positions are placed side by side with the increasing internal pressure on Netanyahu to secure the release of the hostages held in the Gaza Strip, with the amount of disagreements between him and a number of members of his government, in addition to the exorbitant economic cost of continuing the war, the scale of the difficult equation that Netanyahu has set becomes clear. Israel is in it, and he must think about solving its hieroglyphs, according to analysts.
