Deep dives
Netanyahu's strategy: Slow squeeze and siege on Hamas
Netanyahu has proposed a strategy of imposing a complete siege on northern Gaza, forcing Hamas operatives out of their tunnels. The plan involves establishing a permanent security strip along the border, continuous firepower to weaken and isolate Hamas, and creating humanitarian corridors for civilians. By slowly squeezing Gaza, Israel aims to shift the pressure onto Hamas, potentially leading to disarming or facing a disastrous outcome. This strategy also reduces the likelihood of outside involvement, as it avoids triggering larger conflicts. Compliance with international law is stressed, and rebuilding efforts would have to satisfy Israeli approval to ensure that funds are not going to Hamas supporters. This slow squeeze and siege approach is seen as a long-term tactic to weaken Hamas while also making Gaza's situation clear to the world.
Gaza's future: Permanent camps and limited rebuilding
It is speculated that Israel wants to keep Gaza in a state of permanent camps, preventing significant rebuilding and development. The aim would be to create obstacles to funding and rebuilding initiatives that involve Hamas supporters, effectively controlling who owns buildings and keeping terrorist elements out. By maintaining control over security and rebuilding efforts, Israel can ensure that no structures are approved unless they pass the test of not supporting terrorism. This could result in Gaza's population being indefinitely confined to camps, with the onus of their well-being placed on the international community.
The two-state solution and weaponized children
The prospects of a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine appear bleak, particularly due to the ongoing weaponization of Palestinian children. The use of children as weapons and teaching them to harbor hatred towards Israel makes peaceful coexistence virtually impossible. Rebuilding trust and finding nonviolent solutions seems unlikely as long as this dynamic persists. Additionally, any prosperous Palestinian state could potentially funnel resources towards violent elements that seek Israel's destruction, creating an unsustainable situation. As such, the two-state solution faces significant hurdles in the current environment.
