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.
In the coming days, Israel and the United Arab Emirates will initiate a maritime logistics operation to transfer humanitarian aid from Cyprus to the northern Gaza Strip, aiming to significantly increase the food supply in the region.
Mohamed Dahlan, a senior member of Fatah, has been entrusted with overseeing this operation on behalf of the United Arab Emirates, with coordination also taking place with the Hamas movement.
The clandestine planning and execution of the October 7 attack on Israel by the military leadership of Hamas in the Gaza Strip left many bewildered, including supposed allies such as Iran and Hezbollah. The decision to withhold the precise timing of the attack from these factions aimed to catch Israel off guard, a strategy that proved more successful than anticipated. However, this tactical maneuver ultimately backfired, leading to the erosion of Hamas’ control in the Gaza Strip due to a miscalculation of Israel’s response.
Since the outset of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, numerous members of the PA security forces have been implicated in terrorist activities against Israel. Despite this, the PA leadership has refrained from actively combating terrorism and has failed to condemn the October 7 massacre. It’s imperative for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to maintain military pressure in Judea and Samaria to forestall any security escalations during Ramadan.
The indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas have reached an impasse, with Israeli security officials suspecting that Yahya Sinwar is deliberately stalling the talks to incite conflict during the month of Ramadan. Israel should consider taking decisive action during this period to address the situation in Gaza, as Sinwar seems to respond only to displays of strength.
Israel is engaging in talks with clans and tribes in the Gaza Strip that are at odds with Hamas, aiming to secure the shipment of humanitarian aid and potentially delegate security responsibilities for certain areas of Gaza City. Hamas has vehemently opposed the Israeli initiative, labeling those involved as collaborators and threatening retribution at an appropriate time.
Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Ishtayeh tendered his resignation to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas after serving in the position for five years.
Ishtayeh’s government will continue to function as a transitional administration until a successor is appointed.
The PA leadership opposes the release of Marwan Barghouti from prison due to his perceived challenge to the authority of Mahmoud Abbas.
There are concerns within the PA that the release of hundreds of Hamas military wing operatives, as part of an anticipated deal between Israel and Hamas, may destabilize the PA.
Residents have initiated demonstrations across various locations in the Gaza Strip, denouncing the leadership of Hamas for the profound suffering inflicted upon the Gazan population.
The Hamas leadership is apprehensive that these protests might escalate and spread throughout the Gaza Strip. Consequently, they have instructed their operatives to quell the demonstrators through force.
