The Israeli and international press continued to address the developments of the war on the Gaza Strip, and its field and political repercussions and repercussions, with a future reading of what the developments might lead to.
In a report, the French newspaper Le Monde touched on what it called “the tunnel dilemma that Israel faces and is tightening its grip on its army,” and said that entering the tunnels requires the involvement of Israeli forces in a long-term conflict that is more dangerous than urban warfare.
She pointed out that “the failure to explore the tunnels leaves the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) with the possibility of developing its forces again and carrying out new attacks.” Before the report concluded, “Hamas mastered building the trap within 20 years.”
An article in the Israeli newspaper “Haaretz” confirmed that it finds no way to explain Israel’s behavior in Gaza, explaining that justifying destruction, killing, famine and siege through Israeli propaganda is no longer possible.
The article points out that any official guest arriving in Israel is forced to pass through Kibbutz Beeri on the Gaza Strip, “and if he dares to look at the Gaza Strip, he will be accused of being anti-Semitic.”
In turn, a report in the British newspaper “The Guardian” believes that the longer the war in Gaza continues, the greater the risk of miscalculation and regional escalation, which the administration of US President Joe Biden fears will drag Iran into a broader conflict.
The report states that Washington and Paris are leading secret negotiations to calm the situation with the Lebanese Hezbollah, but it excludes the possibility of convincing it to remove its forces from the towns of southern Lebanon, from which it draws popular support, according to the report, which quotes a European diplomat as saying that estimates indicate that escalation has become more likely.
Foreign Policy magazine published an article stating that the extent of the human suffering caused by the devastating Israeli military response to the Hamas attack shocked a wide sector of the world, “but Biden chose to involve the United States in a major war whose end is ambiguous and victory is uncertain.”
According to the article, Biden “portrayed the wars in Ukraine and Israel as a struggle between democracy and tyranny, yet his speech does not seem convincing to everyone.”
As for the Al-Monitor website, it said that famine threatens the residents of Gaza while the Israeli bombing continues, reviewing relief agencies’ warnings that the situation is getting worse in Gaza over time in terms of lack of food and safe drinking water.
The website quoted Thomas White, Director of the Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza; Every day that passes for the residents of the Strip is a struggle to survive and find food and water.
