Six points about the battle of Rafah; Determining the future of Palestine

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the Zionist regime while out of three The previous day, it started its limited military operation in Rafah, which Tel Aviv started this operation without paying attention to the wishes of the international community and even its western allies. to the Rafah border crossing while Hamas had agreed hours earlier with the draft presented in the Cairo talks regarding the exchange of prisoners, but Israel entered Rafah regardless of all regional and international efforts to stop the war.

The examination of the field, political and international conditions in this attack has several noteworthy points;

• The ground attack of the Zionist forces in terms of the number of troops And the operational area was not comprehensive, and only two armored brigades, 401 and 84 of the 162 division, moved along the border line called “Philadelphia axis” – the border area between the Gaza Strip and Egypt – and did not enter the peripheral area. This is while it was expected that this operation would be bigger than this due to the extensive Zionist propaganda.
• Although the mentioned attack was more limited than expected, it was magnified from the media aspect. Zionist tanks were also attacking the symbols of Gaza City in Rafah, and the media unit of the regime army represented the arrival of the tanks with big flags and filming from above to give this message to the audience that the media aspect of this operation is more important. Probably, this media exaggeration can be a sign of Netanyahu’s attempt to sell this limited operation more expensively to the hard-line members of his cabinet, so that he can advance the prisoner exchange negotiations.

• Egypt’s lack of reaction to the violation of the Camp David Agreement (1979) and the arrival of Israeli tanks in The boundary line (Zone D) after 45 years is worth thinking about. Some claim that Cairo received an economic or political concession from Tel Aviv, and some claim that the Israelis justified the presence of armored forces in Rafah by referring to the presence of armored forces of the Egyptian army under the pretext of fighting Salafist movements in the Sinai desert. Haaretz also reported that Tel Aviv has promised Cairo that it will not destroy the border facilities in Rafah.
• The current limited attack has raised the hypothesis that the Zionists want to use this situation for a step-by-step operation. to use Based on this, the Zionists intend to have an important trump card in the negotiations with Hamas, with step-by-step attacks in the Rafah areas during the continuation of negotiations in Cairo for the release of prisoners.
• Benyamin Netanyahu It was expected that Hamas would not agree with the presented draft, but the game-reading pressured the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, Yahya Al-Sanwar, politically. Hamas’s statement in agreeing to the prisoner exchange agreement actually caused the Israeli army to attack Rafah earlier than planned. This was in a situation where large demonstrations covered the streets of Tel Aviv at the same time, so that Netanyahu would be in a weaker position.
• Strategically, it seems that Benjamin Netanyahu intends to control the fire of this war. Cam will keep warm until the American presidential election, so that this issue may become the basis for Biden’s defeat and Trump’s return to the White House. If this scenario is realized, the end of the war does not only mean the fall of the cabinet, but we have to wait for the beginning of the second phase of the Zionist operation. It can be hypothesized that if the work of Rafah is completed and Trump returns to the White House, Netanyahu will have the opportunity to help the people of Gaza through the new wharf created by the American army under the title of providing aid to the people of Gaza. move from this area.

The current battle in Rafah is the most decisive battle of the Palestinians since 1967, and in terms of its decisiveness, it is reminiscent of the battle of Stalingrad in World War II. ; Where the final winner and loser of the war were determined in the battle of the last day. If the Zionists can defeat the general resistance of the Palestinian people in Gaza and stabilize its military position, they will realize the foundation for the formation of a great Jewish state, but in contrast to the failure of the Israeli army in Rafah, it will be a prelude to the retreats and bigger failures of this regime in the future. will be.
