ethnic cleansing; The main goal of America and the Zionist regime in the Gaza war
Mehr News, International Group: After the martyrdom of Hamas leader Yahya Sanwar in Gaza, the Zionist authorities claimed that the defeated Hamas is in its weakest possible state. On the other hand, American officials also claim that after Sanwar, reaching a ceasefire in Gaza is more likely than ever. The facts on the ground indicate the continuation of attacks on Gaza and the continuation of politics based on genocide in this strip. Putting these issues together shows the fact that the main goal of the Zionist regime and the United States is not only to end the war and achieve a ceasefire, but the main agenda in Gaza is the policy of genocide, ethnic cleansing and the forced migration of people from this area. is.
The claims of the Zionist regime in the destruction of Hamas
After the martyrdom of Sanwar on October 25, various Zionist officials claim that Hamas is in its weakest possible state after October 7. In the first reaction to the assassination of the Hamas leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, said: “This is not the end of the Gaza war. This is the beginning of the end of Hamas. This war can end tomorrow. This can happen if Hamas lays down its weapons and releases our prisoners. Israel will guarantee the safety of those who return the prisoners, but let those who armed them know that Israel will come after them. These words of Netanyahu indicate two important propositions. First, the authorities of the Zionist regime are not interested in ending the war. Second, they do not want the release of their prisoners through negotiations.
America and the lie of the ceasefire after Sanwar
After Senwar’s martyrdom, the American authorities considered this event as an opportunity to end the conflicts. The spokesperson of the US Department of State said: “The United States wants to start the ceasefire talks and secure the release of the prisoners. Senwar refused to negotiate. This obstacle has clearly been overcome. It is impossible to predict whether the person who replaces Sinwar will agree to the ceasefire or not, but for now the major obstacle that existed in recent months has been removed.” US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also visited the occupied territories, according to US officials, and tried to ask Netanyahu to accept the ceasefire in Gaza and end the Gaza war, which is spreading to the entire region.
Blinken urged Netanyahu to use the recent killing of Hamas leader Yahya Senwar in Gaza as an opportunity to declare victory and end the war. However, the noteworthy point is that the American authorities are not serious about the transition from a war situation to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for several reasons, and in other words, their desire is more to continue this war.
The approach of the US foreign minister in the recent regional trip to lay the groundwork for a ceasefire agreement was very weak; Especially, the American authorities have no decision to put pressure on the Zionists and impose costs on them to accept the ceasefire. Before the start of the war, the American pressure was much higher, especially in the case of Netanyahu’s judicial reforms, than now, when the region desperately needs a ceasefire. The Americans even ignored the fact that for a long period of time it was Netanyahu who blocked the way to a ceasefire by adding new conditions to the point where some Israeli officials accused him of sabotaging the negotiations to stay in power.
It should not be forgotten that not long ago, after the assassination of Hezbollah leaders, Netanyahu stated that “we are changing the strategic reality in the Middle East”. Especially in the current situation when the actors of the resistance axis and Iran are also demanding a ceasefire, it is Netanyahu and the extreme rightists who want to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah and weaken Iran.
In the last year, America has shown that it has placed the support of Tel Aviv in the fight against Hamas at the top of its foreign policy goals. Washington has so far provided Tel Aviv with $22 billion in arms and other military support along with diplomatic cover in the UN Security Council, allowing this regime to continue its invasion of Gaza and its extension to Lebanon despite the terrible casualties. In recent weeks, both Biden and Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, have supported the Zionist regime.
Reckless American support has increased the boldness of Zionist authorities to take bigger risks in West Asia. A recent example of this issue is placing one of the most advanced American missile defense systems (THAD system) with about 100 American soldiers at the disposal of the Zionist regime.
The policy of genocide and forced migration
In a situation where the Zionist authorities emphasize the weakening of Hamas and the United States also claims that the time of the ceasefire is near, it seems that the real intention of the United States and the Zionist regime , ethnic cleansing and enforced migration policy, especially in northern Gaza. The statements of Washington and Tel Aviv officials show the same thing. Yoav Galant, the Minister of War of the Zionist regime, said earlier: “Today, we are in the context of a reality in which new conditions are created for the resettlement of the residents of the north, and this requires more time.” Kamala Harris also announced in her advertising campaign that “it’s time to start the next day” in Gaza.
Field events such as the recent three-week attacks by the Zionist regime on the Jabalia camp and the attacks on Kamal Advan Hospital more than any other Something indicates the desire of this regime to continue the policy of genocide and forced displacement of Palestinians. 820 people have been martyred in the attacks of the Zionist regime on the Jabalia camp in the north of the Gaza Strip in the last three weeks. Zionist soldiers also set fire to dozens of houses in Beit Lahia camp in northern Gaza. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Mahmoud Bassal, the spokesman of the Civil Defense Organization in Gaza, called what is happening in Jabalia and Beit Lahia a tragedy and said: “The Zionist regime has committed crimes and massacres against innocent people around Kamal Adwan Hospital.”
end
After the martyrdom of Hamas leader Yahya Sanwar, the Zionist regime and the United States claim to weaken Hamas and provide conditions for a ceasefire in Gaza, but the practical support of the United States, the prevailing field conditions on Gaza and the statements of the Zionist regime authorities show that by intensifying attacks on residential areas and hospitals in Gaza, especially the Jabalia camp, they pursue the policy of ethnic cleansing and forced migration as the ultimate goal.
