The Israeli government’s approval of a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas has sparked heated debates, as it prioritizes the release of hostages over the ongoing occupation of the Gaza Strip.
Yahya Sinwar finds himself at a crucial juncture, contemplating the necessity of a ceasefire to halt the IDF’s momentum in the Gaza Strip and regroup his forces.
The IDF’s determination to dismantle Hamas’s military power adds complexity to his decision-making, prompting Sinwar to seek ways to unsettle Israel and sow division.
Hamas recently dealt a significant blow to Israel in a surprise attack, tarnishing the country’s image. However, the IDF swiftly regrouped, initiating a counteroffensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
To restore deterrence and send a strong message to its enemies, Israel must secure a comprehensive victory over Hamas.
Israel opposes the PA returning to control the Gaza Strip after the war and claims that it is corrupt, weak and encourages terrorism.
The Biden administration’s bet on the PA as a body that will manage the Gaza Strip is wrong, something that may lead to the re-strengthening of Hamas in the Gaza Strip in the future.
Achieving the goals of Operation “Iron Swords” requires the IDF to occupy the south of the Gaza Strip, according to the estimate, most of the abductees are held in the south and that is also where the military leadership of Hamas is hiding.
The IDF will also be forced to occupy the “Philadelphia Axis” in the Rafah area to prevent terrorists from escaping to Egypt through the tunnels.
The conflict in the Gaza Strip rages on, and even as the dust settles, a contentious debate has arisen between Israel and the Biden administration over who will assume control of the territory following the collapse of the Hamas regime.
The Biden administration has firmly advocated for the return of Palestinian Authority (PA) rule in the Gaza Strip, a position vehemently opposed by Israel. Meanwhile, Hamas, despite its weakened state, plans to regain power in the region.
The Hamas organization has brought about a significant humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, leading to the displacement of many Palestinians from the northern part of the strip to the south. The ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, considered by many Palestinians as a modern-day Nakba, has inadvertently strengthened Israel’s deterrence capabilities.
Hamas managed to surprise Israel and achieve some significant advancements, but the IDF quickly recovered, repelled Hamas forces, and captured the northern Gaza Strip. Israel could secure a significant victory over Hamas and other branches of Iran if it maintains national unity and strategic coordination with the US.
Egypt remains uncertain about Israel’s ability to dismantle the Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip.
Consequently, it adopts a cautious stance, refusing collaboration with Israel and the US in establishing an alternative government to Hamas.
The primary fear is that Hamas may survive the conflict and resume terrorist activities in Egypt, seeking retaliation against President al-Sisi’s regime.
The Biden administration has taken a keen interest in the situation in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, due to the potential threat it poses to U.S. interests. As a result, the administration is applying pressure on Israel to agree to a humanitarian ceasefire in its battle against Hamas.
While Israel remains determined to oust the Hamas regime and secure the release of abductees, it recognizes the importance of American support. This could lead to a closer alignment with the Biden administration’s objectives.
