Israel failed to arrest one of the leaders of the Palestinian resistance through a special operation it carried out in southern Gaza, which was considered by experts as evidence of the obstacles that it would face if it tries to restore the prisoners or occupy the sector permanently.
A special Israeli force tried to arrest Ahmed Sarhan, a leader in the brigades of Salah al -Din – the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees – who was martyred during clashes with this force in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netinho began security consultations in conjunction with the start of the third stage of the “Gaveron vehicles” operation, and the expansion of the wild operation.
Before the meeting, Netanyahu said that Israel would control the entire Gaza Strip, as part of its endeavor to eliminate the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), while the Israeli Finance Minister Btalal Smotrich said that the army began destroying the remainder of the Strip.
Smutic described what is currently going on as “changing the course of history”, noting that the army “will not remain a stone on a stone in Gaza, and will push the population to the southern Gaza Strip, then to third countries, and this is our goal.”
A difficult field reality
But these Israeli goals stated in occupying the Strip and the displacement of its population collide with a field reality that may not help it to change the course of history in the way you want, because the matter will not be without a price, as analysts say.
The leader of the Israeli opposition, Yair Labid, criticized this step by saying that the army’s pushing for diving in the coming of Gaza for the next 15 years is considered a “strategic error and an economic and political catastrophe.”
The attempt to arrest Sarhan was part of the “Gaveron vehicles” operation, in the opinion of the military expert, Brigadier Elias Hanna, because he would have represented an information treasure if he was arrested alive.
During his participation in the “Path of Events” program, Hanna said that Israel may have tried, through the arrest of this man, to obtain information about the places of prisoners, tunnels, or resistance leaders, noting that “she was living in an intelligence blindness in Gaza before the war due to the security control of Hamas.”
The military expert believes that the army’s failure to arrest Sarhan reflects the possibility of his failure to restore the prisoners, which happened in previous operations when prisoners were killed in Shuja’ia in the north and Khan Yunis in the south.
Also, the families or killing of one Israeli soldier during any attempt to restore prisoners by force means the failure of the whole operation, as well as the possibility of killing the prisoners themselves during attempts to rid them, which means that the price may be very expensive, in the opinion of Hanna.
Even Netanyahu’s plan aimed at occupying the sector and displacing its residents, not the restoration of the prisoners, will not be easy to implement because it requires time, and will face a difficult field reality, the military expert says.
Wide rejection inside Israel
The Israeli expert Muhannad Mustafa agreed with Hanna’s hadith, saying that any Israeli attempt to restore the prisoners by force will end with the same result because the resistance will fight until the last breath to prevent Israel from achieving this goal.
According to Mustafa, former major military personnel in Israel warned against the consequences of moving forward in this way, which failed a lot during the war and was not announced.
As for the decision to control Gaza, it has become an official government decision after the approval of the mini security council (the cabinet) on it, and the conversation of Netanyahu and Samotic publicly on him, as Mustafa says, noting that these statements “can be considered as evidence before the international courts of the intention to purify Gaza ethnicity.”
While the Israeli right refuses to stop the plan to occupy and empty its residents for any reason, military and politicians reject this plan to the extent that some of them spoke that it was involved in Israel in committing an undeniable war crimes.
The expert in the Israeli affairs said that this process lacks legitimacy in a way that did not happen with any other operation in the history of Israel, adding that the families of the prisoners consider it an end to the file of restoring their children from the Strip.
Washington is frustrated
Even the United States, which does not want to impose a specific solution despite its influence, expresses a rejection of the expansion of the war in Gaza and pushed towards calm and stopping the war, says the chief researcher at the American Foreign Policy Council James Robbins.
Robbins believes that relations between the United States and Israel will not reach strategic separation, but he said that Israel should understand what Washington wants at the present time, which is not to expand operations and reach a truce.
The spokesman considered that Wittakouf’s talk about the release of half of the prisoners in exchange for a two -month truce, such as pressure on Israel and Hamas, and said that the United States “apparently trying to stop the war, and dedicate somewhat to expand the process.”
However, Robbins believes that what Washington will do to prevent the expansion of the operation is not yet known, but he believes that the Trump administration is disappointed by Israel’s behavior, especially with a talk about stopping military support, as well as threats from Britain, France and Canada to take steps against Israel.
The spokesman said that the main disagreement is the same as that led to the collapse of negotiations at the end of last year, as Israel adheres to the removal of Hamas and the latter adheres to ending the war.
He concluded that the current Wittakouf proposal, which provides for the restoration of half of the prisoners for a two -month truce, is the best accessible because obtaining long -term guarantees requires longer time in order to reach an agreement.
