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.
Iran presently prioritizes stabilizing its economy and accessing frozen assets in the West over engaging in regional conflict, even as it covertly prepares for potential nuclear armament. While Supreme Leader Khamenei has yet to issue a final directive, Iran’s actions suggest an intent to advance towards nuclear capabilities.
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.
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.
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.
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.
