Netanyahu: Eliminating Hamas is not possible without an operation in Rafah
| Israel's prime minister says he has ordered the army to come up with a plan to evacuate the population from Rafah, as well as destroy the four remaining Hamas battalions. |
According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced in a statement that with four Hamas battalions remaining in Rafah, it is not possible for Israel to achieve its war goal of eliminating this group.
This statement continues: “On the other hand, it is clear that carrying out large-scale operations in Rafah requires the evacuation of the population from war zones.”
Netanyahu said accordingly He asked the Israeli army to submit a plan to the war cabinet to evacuate the population and eliminate the four Hamas battalions in Rafah. is that Israel is still not close to its goal of destroying Hamas.
The New York Times, citing US intelligence officials, reported that the latest assessments indicate that Israel has weakened Hamas, but still has not reached its goal of Its removal is not imminent.
American officials have said that there are serious doubts about the reality of Netanyahu’s goal to destroy Hamas. These officials have said that weakening the fighting capabilities of Hamas seems more realistic than eliminating this group.
Israel has determined the release of prisoners from Gaza and the destruction of Hamas as its war goals in Gaza. Despite this, the realization of both of these goals has reached a dead end.
The New York Times newspaper reported a few weeks ago that a number of senior commanders of the Israeli army have now come to the conclusion that achieving both goals at the same time is not possible and any long-term plan to destroy Hamas is inevitable. It will lead to the death of prisoners.
Furthermore, many analysts have questioned the possibility of the complete destruction of Hamas even in occupied Palestine. “Gadi Eisenkot”, one of the former officials of the Israeli army, who is currently a member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet, in an interview a few weeks ago, described the promises of the Israeli authorities for the complete destruction of Hamas as “storytelling”.
“Ehud Olmert”, the former prime minister of the Zionist regime, also wrote in a note in Haaretz newspaper some time ago that Netanyahu himself knows that he is not able to eliminate Hamas.
Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on the 7th of October (15th of October), in response to more than seven decades of occupation of Palestine and nearly two decades of siege of Gaza and imprisonment and torture of thousands of Palestinians, started the operation known as “Al-Aqsa Storm” .
This operation was one of the deadliest attacks against this regime. Hamas fighters penetrated into the occupied territories through the border fences at several points, attacked the villages and besides killing a large number of Israelis, captured a number of them. Reports indicate that Hamas is currently holding 136 Israeli prisoners in Gaza.
In response to this operation, the Zionist regime launched heavy attacks against Gaza and placed this area under siege. put full Nearly 28,000 Palestinians have been martyred so far in Israeli attacks in Gaza. Despite this, as analysts say, the al-Aqsa storm operation has imposed a major security-political defeat on Israel.
The mediation of Egypt, Qatar and the United States for the release of prisoners has not been successful so far. The Hamas movement said that negotiations for the exchange of prisoners will be possible only if the deadly attacks on Gaza end. Israelis and 24 foreign nationals were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians.
