Will Israel return to the full -scale war in Gaza?

Ever since Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed up to a multifaceted ceasefire with Hamas in January, he did not retain his dissatisfaction with his conditions. In the first hours of Tuesday he brought the gentle peace that he allowed to the end.

When the gas brawl sleeve, Israel’s military launched big strikes on the coastal enclave, Murder over 400 Palestinians on one of the most deadly days in the first weeks 17-month war.

The updated offensive was welcomed by extreme allies Netanyahu It depends on its survival, the strengthening of its coalition, when it faces the mounting pressure over scandals and failures of security, which allowed the attack of Palestinian militant Hamas on October 7, 2023.

But it also attracted the anger of the hostage families who were still conducted in Gaza, deepened the humanitarian disaster in the enclave, and caused allegations of his opponents that he acted from political rather than national reasons.

“Netanyahu has a personal interest that is ongoing war,” said Israeli, a former deputy head of the Israeli National Security Council. “He has no urgency to stop it.”

The original Israel agreement signed up in January, provided for a three -stage process. Hamas would gradually release the Israeli hostages he still holds the gas, in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and the truce, which will eventually lead to a complete Israeli output from the enclave and the permanent cessation of hostilities.

But in recent weeks, Netanyahu, which has been instituted in support of US President Donald Trump, rejected the end of the war and pulling the troops from the enclave, trying to develop a new agreement instead. According to the proposed terms, a considerable number of hostages will be released earlier than planned in exchange for a week extending the truce, but without guarantee of permanent ending of the war-condition-condition Jamas rejected.

Israeli officials said on Tuesday that they could stop the new gas attack when Hamas agreed with their demands, and people familiar with the situation said the mediators were involved with both sides in the hope of preventing a full -scale restoration of hostilities.

But Israeli officials made it clear that they were prepared for the fact that when a group of militants refused to yield to their requirements. “If Hamas really returns to the negotiating table, it will stop.

The initial attack by Israel on the gas he started in response to the attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which militants killed 1,200 people, according to Israeli officials, and took 250 hostages-the most intense in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

But despite the scale of the offensive, which killed more than 48,000 people, according to Palestinian officials, it reduced most of the gas to uninhabited constipation – Israel has not yet reached any of its military purposes: the release of all hostages and the destruction of Hamas.

Yaakov Amidor, a former national security adviser in Netanyahu, claimed that when Israel started a new offensive on the ground, he now became able to place more strength in gas longer than at the beginning of the war, as it succeeded, such as Likhaman’s militant.

“Previously, we did not have enough strength to take control and cleanse the areas (we took in gas),” said Amidor, an employee of the Jewish National Security Institute of America in Washington. “We killed those who were there.

However, Netanyahu critics claimed that the updated offensive was less about military opinions and more about domestic politics.

Within months, the Prime Minister has been pressured by the right-wing allies to restore fights. Former National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir pulled out the Ultranationalist Party of the Jewish authorities from the coalition to protest the ceasefire agreement, and the Finance Minister of Finance, Smotrich, threatened to follow the example.

But the updated attack changed the political equation, and Ben-Gvir announced on Tuesday that he was returning to Netanyahu Coalition. Analysts have also claimed that the threats of the murmur could hardly be materialized.

Opposition politicians claimed that strikes are an effort to divert attention from an increasing fire about the Netanyahu Plan to dismiss the Israeli head Agency on Internal Intelligence. “Soldiers on the front and hostage in the newspaper are only cards in the survival game (Netanyahu),” the left party leader wrote.

Updated Israeli operations have caused a tough reaction from former hostages and relatives of those who still kept gas, who warned that the offensive threatens the lives of approximately 25 captives who are believed to be alive.

“How about those left behind?” Albag Lira, one of the hostages released earlier this year, wrote on Instagram.

“Once again, their fate plays,” she wrote. “Once again their lives risks again.

Analysts have stated that there was also a risk that the updated offensive could ignite tensions on the occupied western coast, which, despite the war in Gaza, remained relatively calm during the fighting. After the Israeli strikes on Tuesday, Hamas urged Palestinians to rise in response to Israel’s attack on gas.

“At least, IDF now controls the situation (on the West Bank),” said Jar. “But no insurance company would guarantee that it will remain exactly in the near future.”
