Israeli analyst Avi Yuskarov believes that the war is in Gaza Strip It turned into a “goal in itself”, without a political horizon that ends the conflict, noting that the Israeli military effort reached its end after nearly a year and 9 months of repeated operations that did not succeed in achieving the declared goal, which is to drop the rule of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
This came in an article for him in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper in which he dealt with the successive ads of the occupation army about the deaths and injuries Gaza City.
The writer notes that the Israeli army had previously carried out several operations in the same areas, such as a neighborhood Shuja’ia Khan Yunis, where a week ago, was killed 7 soldiers from the 36th Martial Engineering Unit, pointing out that every military tour is accompanied by official statements confirming that “the defeat of Hamas is imminent” or that the movement will be collapsing soon.
However, Yuskarov believes that “Hamas is still standing on its feet,” despite the continuous strikes that its infrastructure is exposed to. He added, “The movement may not be organized and trained as it was in the past, but it still has enough power to prevent the change of reality in Gaza.”
The political analyst deals with the statement of a senior officer in the southern leadership of the Israeli army that the army “continues to dismantle Hamas, kills its leaders, and prevents humanitarian aid to reach it.”
While he indicates his boast of the achievement of his description “Senior”, which is the distribution of 150 million foodstuffs to the Palestinian population, with the aim of “creating a crack between Hamas and the local population,” as he put it, he sees in that achievement a negative result.
He wonders whether Israel began to bear the responsibility of the Gaza residents’ affairs, which was what she was avoiding for years ago, saying, “Perhaps the great officer wanted to congratulate himself, but in fact he came out condemning the position of the Israeli army.”
Hamas is rebuilding its strength
Yuskarov says that Israeli army It caused real damage to enthusiasm and its infrastructure in the areas where it is active, but at the same time confirms that the movement is rebuilding its power in other areas that the Israeli operations are not continuously affected by, and succeeded in recruiting new youth in its ranks.
He notes that the hope that Israel has commented on the so -called “Gideon vehicles“In a fundamental shift on the ground, it has not been achieved.
“Hamas has not collapsed, and the locals in Gaza are still not ready to go out against it, despite the existence of limited opposition voices on social media, or some clans that dare to challenge the movement,” he added.
The writer believes that Hamas is putting one goal in front of it, which is to stay as he claimed, and that it has so far succeeded in achieving this goal.
The political analyst confirms that “the military effort in Gaza reached its end,” considering that the demolition of more neighborhoods or the destruction of additional homes, and the killing of thousands of Hamas elements, did not change the reality.
“The senior southern driving officers may want to appear as the rescuers For Israel From Hamas. Unfortunately, after a year and 9 months in which we try to repeat the same thing, it is time to understand that this war will never end without a political end. “
The necessity of a political solution
The writer reveals a heavy outcome of the human cost of the war, noting that 20 Israeli soldiers were killed in the Gaza Strip during the month of June alone, while none of the Israeli prisoners was freed agitation.
He believes that the fundamental change in Gaza requires Israel to help “form an alternative to Hamas government”, saying that “this is the only real way to remove Hamas from Gaza and implement what the Prime Minister has pledged Benjamin Netanyahu When he said, “There will be no enthusiasm.”
Yuskarov concludes that the war in Gaza must end because it has not achieved any tangible political change despite its longevity, stressing that “military action is not a goal in itself, but rather a way to achieve a political goal.” And he stresses the need for Israel to cooperate with those who called it moderate Arab countries, the United States, and even the Palestinian Authority, to avoid drowning in what it described as a “Gaza swamp”.
At the end of his article, the Israeli analyst sends his clear message: “Without a political end, this war will never end,” but he forgets that any political solution cannot be imposed on the Palestinian people from abroad.
