As the war in the Gaza Strip persists, Israel faces a critical question regarding the region’s governance post-conflict.
As the war in the Gaza Strip persists, Israel faces a critical question regarding the region’s governance post-conflict.
Qatar is playing a significant role in negotiations for a hostage deal, with clandestine support to sustain Hamas’ control over the Gaza Strip.
Yahya Sinwar, leveraging the hostage situation, aims to solidify Hamas’ dominance in the region, signaling to Israel its determination to maintain authority.
On April 14, aid and human rights organizations are coordinating an international flotilla to the shores of Gaza. The primary objectives of this endeavor are to protest against the blockade enforced on the Strip and to deliver essential food supplies to its residents.
The military wing of Hamas is gearing up for the potential occupation of Rafah and the “Philadelphia Corridor,” adopting a new strategy to sustain its military capabilities and prepare for a protracted campaign lasting several months. Leadership within the military wing emphasizes their reliance on a crucial bargaining chip: Israeli hostages.
They believe that this leverage will secure their survival, bring about an end to the conflict, and ultimately lead to the withdrawal of IDF forces.
Jihadist Islam has reawakened and is posing a threat to Russia as well.
The recent massacre in Moscow once again underscores the danger posed to the world by Islamic terrorist movements. There is little distinction between Hamas and ISIS; both have their roots in the terrorist “Muslim Brotherhood” movement. President Putin would be wise to sever all ties between his country and Hamas.
The new Palestinian PM presented the vision of the “Revitalized PA” that will be established, but there is no word in his vision about the war on terror, stopping the payment of salaries to terrorists and stopping incitement in the PA’s education system and media. There is also no statement of intent in his vision to return to the PA the security control over northern Samaria that it lost more than two years ago to armed terrorist groups supported by Iran.
The Palestinian political system is outraged by the appointment of Mohammed Moustafa as the new prime minister and says that the new government will fail like its predecessors because it is not trusted by the Palestinian street.
Senior officials in the Fatah movement accuse Muhammad Moustafa of acts of corruption, his associates deny and say that these are lies based on political rivalry.
In the aftermath of conflict in Gaza, it is imperative for Israel to prioritize the dismantling of Hamas’ civilian government alongside the destruction of its military infrastructure. To achieve this, Israel should implement a multifaceted approach, including the establishment of a temporary military government and the empowerment of a Palestinian civil administration.
Israel has yet to fully achieve its goals in the Gaza Strip, but it appears to be making progress towards them. Conversely, the failure of the Hamas movement is evident. It has inflicted further suffering on the residents of the Gaza Strip and prolonged the resolution of the Palestinian issue for many more years.
Two influential figures, Yahya Sinwar and Yasser Arafat, played significant roles in attempting to challenge Israel through acts of terrorism.
Despite their efforts, they ultimately failed, leading to significant repercussions for the Palestinian people. Israel’s ability to withstand Palestinian terrorism can be attributed to its national unity and unwavering determination to combat such threats, a point that should not be overlooked.
