Two years ago, Hamas was finishing the plan to attack Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believed it was a matter that the Palestinians should manage. He insisted that the true threat was Iran.
The rhetorical opposition after Netana was ignored, but Qatar was granted to spread money to Gaza. It gave him a space for his true priorities in foreign policy -I found a way to face Iran and normalize his relationship with Saudi Arabia.
At the time, in Washington, President Joe Biden and his administration believed that they were close to the deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
It was all a series of fantasies.
Netana Hu refused to investigate mistakes, along with the military and security, which gave the opportunity to attack with such a fatal influence on October 7, 2023.
In order to control the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, the conflict between the Jews and the Arabs was not solved as a consequent war as a result of other landmarks in 1948 and 1967, and it was not solved and tried to explode into war.
The Middle East has been transformed since October 7, the war began for almost two years, and the conflict of Gaza is another inflection point.
This was a difficult war for journalists to report.
They were surprised on October 7 when Hamas attacked, and since then, Israel has banned international journalists in Gaza and reported freely. Palestinian journalists in the strip have been brave and almost 200 people worked.
But the main facts are clear. Hamas committed a series of war crimes in an attack that began on October 7, killing 1,200 people, mainly Israelic civilians. Hamas took 251 hostages, and 20 of them are still alive in 20.
And there is a clear evidence that Israel has committed a series of war crimes since then.
In the list of Israel, the Kia’s Kia and Israeli troops do not protect them during military operations that killed tens of thousands of innocent people, and they want to destroy the entire city in a way that is not proportional to the military danger faced by Israel.
Netanyahu and his former defense minister are the subjects of arrest warrants for war crimes issued by the International Criminal Court. They claim their innocence.
Israel also condemned the legal process of claiming that the International Court of Justice is committing massacre of Palestinians. Israel refuses to accuse and claims that they are anti -Semitism “blood sexual desire.”
Israel lacks friends. After the Hamas attack on October 7, the allies wandered around, lost their patience at Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Even Donald Trump, the most important alliance of Israel, is surprisingly known to have lost patience with Netanyahu when the Israeli leader ordered Damascus bombing.
Other Western allies in Israel lacked patience a few months ago.
Another co -statement that accuses Israel’s actions signed on July 21 to the British Minister of Foreign Affairs, the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. They used strong words to describe civilian suffering in Gaza, and used the Failure and deadly aid distribution system operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which Israel introduced to replace the UN and the UN, the world relief group leading the UN and the United Nations.
“The pain of civilians in Gaza has reached a new depth,” the statement said.
“The Israeli government’s aid delivery model is dangerous, unstable, and deprives Gazan’s human dignity. We are trying to criticize the inhuman killings of civilians, including children, and to meet the most basic demands of water and food.
“It is unacceptable for the Israeli government to reject the essential humanitarian support for civilians. Israel must comply with the obligations under the international humanitarian law.”
David Lammy, a British foreign minister, followed his joint statement using a similar language in the House of Representatives of the Westminster.
It was not enough for the Labor MP that wanted to support strong words with strong behavior. One said the government is reluctant to act more decisively. Their agenda is a recognition of the Palestinian state and has already been made by the majority of the United Nations. The United Kingdom and France have discussed what they do in common, but I believe that time is not right so far.
The Israeli Council, known as KNESSET, takes only a few days in the summer home, which will last until October. This means that Benjamin Netana will escape the threat of voting that he has not gained trust from extremist nationalists in the union opposing the ceasefire in Gaza. Reluctant to negotiate ceasefire is the result of their threats to stop the government. If Netana loses power in the election, his long corruption trial will not only end, but his day for the October 7th mistake will compete for him.
The armistice looks more possible. There are opportunities for survival for Gaza’s civilians and Israeli hostages, who have been a long prisoner of Hamas.
None of them will end the conflict. The war was taken to a new depth. But if there is a ceasefire, there will be another opportunity to switch from murder to diplomacy.
I will participate in the discussion in the BBC TODAY program tonight and explore what is needed to end this war.
