During the 8 months of war on the Gaza Strip, it reaped nothing but failure, shame, and international persecution, and the last resounding blow was directed at it by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, when he announced the inclusion of Israel on the blacklist of countries that target children in conflict zones.
The leader of the “Yisrael Beytenu” party, Avigdor Lieberman, admitted this failure by saying, “After 8 months of war, we obtained complete shame instead of complete victory.”
According to the Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, Israel has failed after 8 months of its war on Gaza militarily, politically, economically, morally and morally, and today it is in a state of isolation in light of the escalation of recognitions of the State of Palestine (148 countries).
In his interview with the Gaza program: What Next?, Barghouti enumerated the decisions issued by international bodies to prosecute Israel, including the decision of the International Criminal Court, which ordered the issuance of an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yoav Galant, and the decision of the International Court of Justice regarding genocide. committed by Israel, in addition to being included in the “blacklist of countries that kill children.”
Barghouti recalled a previous statement by Netanyahu in which he accused the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) of being the Islamic State (ISIS). Barghouti said that Israel, with its government and army, finds itself today alongside this organization on the United Nations blacklist.
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, said that he had received official notification from Guterres, including the Israeli army on a global blacklist of perpetrators of violations against children, describing the decision as “shameful.”
Failure to establish the prestige of deterrence
Despite the military, political, economic and moral failure that the occupation suffered, there is still a consensus within Israel on the necessity of continuing the war, as the writer specializing in Israeli affairs, Ihab Jabareen, says, who explains that those calling for stopping it and entering into a truce only want Israel to regain its health and return the detained prisoners. With the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
Jabareen pointed out that Israel, for 40 years, did not fight regular armies, but rather all of its wars were fought against armed groups, and therefore it failed to establish its deterrence prestige.
Jabareen concluded that Israel fails on the ground, militarily, strategically, and even politically in every war it enters.
According to the writer and political analyst, Iyad Al-Qara, for three months the Israeli army has been rotating around itself, according to the testimony of its generals, because it does not have any clear goals that it wants to achieve, and in practice it has not been able to achieve “complete victory” or eliminate what Netanyahu called the 24 Hamas brigades in Gaza strip. He also failed to end Hamas’ rule in Gaza, as he claimed.
Al-Qara said that October 7 revealed that the Israeli army is not what it is promoted as an undefeated force, stressing that the decision to place it on the “black list of countries that kill children” is evidence of the state of criminality it practices, calling for this army and the government to be held accountable. Israel for their crimes against the Palestinians.
