Alone against the world for total control in Gaza

The whole Gaza strip will be under the control of Israel, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a press conference held on Wednesday evening. The purpose of the campaign started a few days ago, after 11 weeks of the total food block on the Gaza strip, aims to control the total Israeli security.

« At the end of this campaign, all the territories of the Gaza strip will be under the security control of Israel. » « If there is an option of a temporary ceasefire to release the hostages, we will be prepared, » said Netanyahu.

Regarding the starvation of the Palestinians in Gaza, Netanyahu said that « we must avoid the humanitarian crisis, in order to maintain our operational freedom. » For this reason, three days ago, Israel allowed the food to enter Gaza. For the humanitarian operation, Netanyahu has chosen a mercenary company in the United States, which will practically double the role played by the UN. The Israeli government tries to bypass UN structures and facilities, to get an extra lever to win the war. SRS has started a specialized personnel recruitment campaign for such operations, and most applicants are even former UN employees.

Despite the recent reports of the international press about a possible « break » between Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump, the Israeli prime minister believes he has American support. « Even if the signals from the European allies are multiplied to conclude the war and solve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Netanyahu has shown that it will not change tactics as long as it has US support for the Gaza war, » writes BBC.

The Netanyahu government is accused of using starvation to achieve military goals. This is why the British government has suspended commercial negotiations with Israel, and most EU states have decided to start reviewing commercial relations with the Jewish state. But there are shy measures.

The most important signal can arrive from the United States. During the tournament in last week’s golf, Donald Trump mentioned the Gaza strip only when he set out that people die of hunger and that measures should be taken. For this week a visit to Vice President JD Vance had been scheduled, but he announced that the trip was canceled. The Vice -President did not want the visit to be interpreted as an American support for the new Israeli campaign in Gaza.

The flow of weapons from the US and Europe to Israel has not stopped, while the Western press shows that the plan of Prime Minister Netanyahu is to overcome Hamas, but especially to make the gaza strip, to force the departure of the Palestinians. Eventually, this suggested President Donald Trump at the time he proposed to take over the Gaza strip and its transformation into the « Riviera » of the Levant, while the Arab states would take over the over two million Palestinians. Trump’s « offer » was refused by Egypt and Jordan, the main targeted states. It seems that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to « level » the land.

There is also opposition to Israel against the new campaign in Gaza. « A healthy country does not take a war against civilians, it does not have the hobby of killing children and does not determine its objective to expulsion the population, » said General Yoav Golan, leader of Democrats, a party created by the merger of the Labor Party in crisis with Meretz. Golan was the leader of the Labor Party. But the Democrats have only four mandates in Knesset.

The humanitarian crisis and the resumption of military operations in Gaza happens in a wider political context. What happens in Iran, Syria and Lebanon matter a lot for the future of the region. Arab leaders told President Trump, including during his recently in the Gulf tournament, that Palestinian rights should be defended-a condition for the stability that Trump said he wants to see in the region. One step towards this stability, in the US vision, is to raise the sanctions imposed on Syria to force the fall of the Assad regime. Now, Trump has agreed to shake hands with the interim president of Syria, until yesterday on the list of terrorists of the FBI. As for Iran, the Trump administration proposed the conclusion of a new nuclear agreement, in exchange for lifting the sanctions, and the reaction of Tehran was positive. But Iran rejected the idea of ​​definitive renunciation of the enrichment of uranium in the country, which can reduce from the chances of concluding the agreement.

Against this background, CNN reported, at the beginning of the week, that Israel will launch preventive strokes on nuclear facilities in Iran. « The US has obtained information that suggests that Israel is preparing to hit the Iranian nuclear facilities, even though the Trump administration is going to conclude an agreement with Tehran, several officials say. Such a blow would mean a break between Netanyahu and the US president. He risks causing a regional conflict in the Middle East. »
