Ceasefire in Gaza Marks the Most Strategic Defeat for Zionists
webangah News agency, International Desk: The failure of the war and the killing of civilians in Gaza, along with Israel’s inability to reach its pre-set objectives, mark a profound strategic defeat for the Zionist regime.
The extent of Israeli failure over these two years must be measured by global public resentment against them, their inability to defeat Hamas and resistances in Gaza, and their total loss of deterrent power. Moreover,the depth of military defeat can be seen in their eagerness to reach a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
Thus, ending the Gaza conflict will introduce a new security approach in the region. This conversion recognizes resistance as an autonomous factor and confirms it as the victor in this two-year struggle.
Undoubtedly, the steadfastness of Palestinian people and their persistence over Gaza will stand as a historic turning point marking Israel’s defeat - resulting so far in international determination toward establishing an independent Palestinian state. It has elevated global respect for Palestinian resistance while delivering a strategic military failure to Israel’s army. In short, this represents a strategic collapse for Israel in the region. The renewed involvement of the United States aimed at salvaging this notorious regime signals an end to Israel’s previous behavioral approach.
The ceasefire agreement – viewed essentially as a deal between Washington and Hamas - demonstrates that Hamas remains the key decision-maker shaping developments in Gaza.
Ezzat al-Rishq, one of Hamas’s negotiators, stated: ”This agreement stems from our historic obligation toward our great nation; our commitment to legitimate rights; and is ultimately a result of resistance achievements on October 7.”
He added: “The ceasefire is entirely a national accomplishment that embodies our people’s unity and commitment to resistance as a means against Zionist occupation.”
Al-Rishq emphasized: “What occupiers failed to achieve through destruction and starvation over two full years was not accomplished at negotiations either.”
An Israeli Reporter: The War Ended But Hamas Did Not Surrender
A Hebrew-language reporter from Channel Kan acknowledged that despite more than two years of conflict, Hamas neither lost nor surrendered during fighting with Israel.
The journalist said: “Today marks an end through agreement. Everyone expected images conveying surrender or defeat by Hamas – but what we saw today appears nothing like that.”
meanwhile, recent ceasefire talks between Israel and Lebanon suggest Tel aviv may attempt once again to violate agreements post-ceasefire-and continue its genocidal campaign. Thus it is indeed crucial not to allow Netanyahu unilateral maneuvering toward his failed objectives again.
