Trump’s comments on Gaza make confusion in Israel policy

Al -Jazeera Net Correspondents

Occupied Jerusalem- The Israeli scene seemed to be confused and floundered in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding Gaza. His threats to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) sparked a transformation of the sector into “hell” if not all Israeli detainees were released until next Saturday, with confusion in Tel Aviv and awaiting the unknown if the fighting is renewed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quick to issue instructions to the ministers to refrain from issuing any data or making any statements on Gaza and the crisis of the sixth stage of the exchange deal, and promised them that Israel would obtain American support “to eliminate Hamas if the war is resumed.”

On the other hand, Israeli analysts and researchers warned against continuing to harmonize with Trump’s statements, and that this would lead to the collapse of the ceasefire agreement, and the cause of an unknown fate of 76 Israelis who are still prisoners of Hamas.

Political confusion

The Israeli media estimated that the suspension of the sixth stage of the deal leaves 9 alive detainees who were supposed to be released within the next three weeks, in addition to 24 others that Israeli estimates indicate that they are still alive, and are expected to be released in the second stage of The deal.

In front of these developments and the violation of the occupation of the human protocol in Gaza, the military analyst in the Haaretz newspaper, Amos Harel, sees that “Trump and Netanyahu are playing with fire, and on this basis, the Israeli army is preparing for the possibility of renewed fighting on the Gaza front.”

In a measure that reflects the state of confusion at the political level, the military analyst explained that the Israeli Defense Army is preparing for the largest recall and mobilization of the reserve forces since the war began, in the event of the ceasefire collapsed, saying that “the events are dramatic, suspense and fog.”

“But there is one clear matter, which is that the continuation of the fighting may lead to the loss of the lives of dozens of detainees and a large number of Israeli army and civilian soldiers in Gaza,” noting that “it is not possible to bet and deal with Trump’s statements, even if it seemed very strong and completely biased in favor of Israel.

“Everyone must appreciate how Hamas will act towards the new American threat? Is there what you can lose? How will Israel and America behave in the event that the movement refused to blackmail and the Trump threat was united? Also, even if we assume that the fighting has been resumed, will this lead to the victory of Israel ? ”.

Pressures

The same reading was reviewed by the security and military affairs analyst in the newspaper “Yediot Aharonot”, Ron Ben Yishai, who believes that the foggy and exciting messages of the confusion that Netanyahu sends after Trump’s statements reflects the pressures he is exposed to, as “he tries to walk between points and pressures from Trump and ministers of government and families Israeli public opinion. “

He explained that Hamas announced the suspension of the exchange deal next Saturday, but it kept the door open to the brokers in order to return the path of the deal. “Trump’s comments and threats to Hamas came to mix the papers and increase the scene complicated, especially with the identification of the Netanyahu government with his statements,” he added.

According to Ben Yishai, the statements of US President Netanyahu were placed in a dilemma off the government coalition, especially the right -wing camp, “which cannot appear as less extremist than Trump.”

In his opinion, “the extremist right is pushed to return to fight so that any new military operation in the sector endangered the detainees, and therefore there are estimates that the crisis will be resolved in a diplomat, and the exchange of the exchange is achieved on time.”

Fears

However, the political analyst on the website “Walla”, Park Ravid, believes that “Netanyahu is optimistic about Trump” and sees in his statements about Gaza a “great opportunity to strengthen his government coalition”, but without taking into account the repercussions of this on the fate of the Israeli detainees.

Rafid explained that Al -Waad, who was directed by the American President of Hamas, motivated Netanyahu to marginalize the detainees’ deal, saying, “Trump’s plan was created to displace Gaza residents as a feeling of the Israeli leadership that all its problems have been solved, as a feeling of ministers prevails in euphoria, but the detainees may pay the price of that.” .

According to him, Israeli security circles have expressed fears and fear that the “Natanahu government ministers” would lead to the collapse of the first phase of the exchange deal, warning of Netanyahu’s statements during the last cabinet meeting, where he talked about “a great opportunity for Israel with Trump in the White House to do whatever it wants in Gaza Strip.

Rafid pointed out that Netanyahu avoids adopting Trump’s statements announced even when Hamas vowed to “hell”, which is the approach that increased the blurring of the scene and created a state of confusion in everything related to the official Israeli position on the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and the exchange of exchange.
