The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, said that the decision regarding the possibility of the Israeli army withdrawing from the Rafah crossing may have been taken after the Israeli leaders understood the seriousness of the International Court of Justice’s decision, and became certain of the possibility of being subjected to sanctions.
He said that the news broadcast by the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation regarding the possibility of withdrawal from the crossing came after Israel had become a country that everyone avoided as if it were infected with scabies.
Among the political pressures that led to the decision to withdraw, the military expert did not rule out that the Egyptian side would have a position, because Israel exceeded the limits of the Camp David Accords and its annexes in 1979, explaining that there are currently displacement operations taking place in the Philadelphia axis of about 800 thousand people, and Al-Duwairi did not rule out the possibility There will be harsh field reactions, as is happening around the airport, in Al-Shoka, and in Jabalia.
According to Al-Duwairi, Netanyahu has begun to use the policy of “escape forward” and exploit opportunities and gain time. He said that he will enter the negotiations into a new, vicious circle, while he continues his attempts to maneuver, laugh at others, and continue killing for at least the next week.
Regarding the progress of the steps of the Court of Justice’s decision, he pointed out that everyone is waiting for the case to be referred to the UN Security Council, and is anticipating America’s reaction if it will use its veto power to disrupt the implementation of the Court of Justice’s decision, even though it agreed to the points contained in it.
Regarding the impact of what is happening in the field on the course of the upcoming negotiations, Al-Duwairi said that “the field is the master of the situation,” explaining that what is happening in Rafah and Jabalia, which are still fighting staunchly – as he described it – and what happened in the Court of Justice in The Hague are all matters that have been in favor of Resistance.
He noted that the resistance was able, with its locally manufactured missiles, to destroy between 1,400 and 1,500 armored fighting vehicles of the occupation army, and explained that this number exceeds the number of combat vehicles in 5 armored divisions, each of which usually contains 315 armored vehicles.
