German expert: Israel is facing defeat in the Gaza war

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, Stephen Stetter, professor of international politics and conflict research At the University of the German Federal Armed Forces in Munich, in a conversation with Germany’s “NTV”, he discussed the conditions of the Zionist regime in the shadow of recent developments and stated: Israel has completely lost its war goals.

In another part of this conversation, he emphasized: A shadow war has been going on between Israel and Iran for a long time, and the Israelis have repeatedly targeted Tehran’s scientific and military personnel, including Iran’s nuclear experts.

He did not consider such actions of Israel as professional.

Stetter clarified: The focus of the extreme right-wing forces in the Israeli government is not primarily Iran, but they have nationalistic and religious goals that are primarily It is also related to the West Bank of the Jordan River and to some extent to the Gaza Strip. Their policies are against the Palestinians.

He further said: We see that Israel is in a multi-front conflict. On this front, we have Iran, we have the Hamas resistance movement, which attacked the Zionist regime on October 7 and still has not released the Israeli hostages, and Yemen, and most importantly, the continuous military attacks of Lebanon’s Hezbollah on northern Israel. And in this situation, the forces in the Zionist regime have not de-escalated.

This security expert in Germany further said: There are proposals for a deal to save the hostages, for the Gaza Strip and for the security of Israel. . But this requires a comprehensive regional diplomatic solution, which the extremist forces in the Zionist cabinet refuse to accept. At the same time, it has been observed for weeks that Israel has actually completely lost its war goals in the Gaza Strip, and this is what started on October 7 and continues.

He said: Israeli deterrence no longer works like it used to. This is why the forces gathering around Iran will continue their attacks.

He added: Israel is actually in danger of losing the war in Gaza. This campaign has been too long and It is catastrophic on a humanitarian level. According to the official reading, Israel’s goals in this war were to defeat Hamas and return the hostages home. However, the rescue of the hostages is delayed. We don’t know if Hamas will actually agree to this exchange, because they are using tactics. They can do this very well now, because they see that Israel is not doing well at the global level.

The security expert emphasized in another part of this conversation: warnings from the beginning. There were about the humanitarian consequences and political costs of the Gaza war. Israel never heeded these warnings and, according to many observers, did not observe proportionality.

He added: Israel is now stuck in a long-term conflict that affects the West Bank and the north of the occupied territories. and now with Iran’s direct attack, it has gained other dimensions.
