Israel pushes for “no war, no peace” state with Gaza

Attacks which have been carried out by Israel from time to time on the Gaza Strip since the unilateral withdrawal aimed at hitting the Palestinian resistance project and will.

Israel wanted the Resistance movement to accept reality that Gaza is out of the Palestinian Israeli conflict circle.

Successive clashes between the Resistance movement and the occupation entity ended by calming down the situation or a truce. Israel considers truce as a tiny accomplishment hoping that Palestinians would accept the fact that Gaza is separated geographical unit. In this context, the policy of assassinating Palestinian leaders including martyr Ahmed Al Djaabari can be understood.

Terms serving Israel’s strategic project

Throughout this introduction, we wanted to say that a large part of our conflict with the occupation is a question of “conscience” and “concepts.” These notions determine what each part can get.

Terms used by Egyptian and Turkish brothers such as “It’s Israel which violated the truce” and “to try to calm down the situation and reinforce real and fair peace” embody serious messages to readers and listeners’ subconscious. They mean that the violator of the truce is the attacker and if this violation did not happen, the truce would have lasted for ever. That carries the idea that Palestinians will be the attackers if they do not maintain the truce.

The seriousness of those terms lies in the fact that they address “people’s subconscious” and contribute in the forming of the “new conscience” wanted by Israel and the US.

What does Israel want from Egypt?

Israel is conscious about the new Egyptian situation. Egypt has been in a revolution having social, economic and security burden. The new governance needs legitimacy and international support from Western nations.

Israel tries to exploit the good relations between Egypt which is under the Muslim Brotherhood’s control and Hamas. Its objective is making Egypt to play a role in convincing Hamas and other Resistance movements to maintain a long term truce with the occupation.

Israel wants to integrate its project into the new reality of the Arab World.

Gaza blockade is an advantage for Israel in terms of negotiation and bargain about its strategic project related to Gaza. Israel expressed its desire to let Egyptians and Americans end the conflict round.

From the US point of view, Egypt is the accredited part to talk to Hamas about Gaza.

Standards to judge the Israeli plan progress

Far from statements and speeches about accomplishments and objectives, the situation is assessed in the light of the following facts:

Israel asked for long term truce contrarily to its pervious requests

Israel asked from the Resistance movement for a ceasefire guaranteed by Egypt. The Hebrew state wants to hinder the Palestinian endeavor to get state membership at the UN. Israel’s victory or defeat in this battle depends on its success rate in the achievement of the previous points.

Netanyahu-Barak’s future in the Israeli strategic project

The current attacks plan on Gaza was prepared by the Israeli army. The pre-election period was the right moment to implement it. The army could not control itself after the successive resistance operations. This endangers Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his defense minister Barak. Hamas and the Resistance movements refusal to satisfy Israeli demands may oblige the army to move to land attack step. That would lead to an ominous battle on Israel and the failure of Netanyahu and Barak in the next elections.

Finally:

The fears exposed in this article do not deny the fact that the Palestinian resistance movements led an honorable and unique battle. History may record that Israel will not survive after Gaza’s second battle. We have exposed those fears to push Palestinian and Arab leaders to think carefully of the Israeli policy long term goals.
