Both Israel and Hamas adhere to conditions that hinder reaching an agreement that guarantees a ceasefire in Gaza, despite the efforts of the mediators, and reaching a general framework for the truce, which is called the “Paris Agreement.”

Professor of Political Science and International Law, Azzam Shaath, believes that Netanyahu and Sinwar have motives that directly affect the continuation of the war. As for Israel, Shaath tells Sky News Arabia that it is deliberately prolonging its military aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has extended for four months, for motives related to By supporting the most extremist and right-wing members of the government for the option of war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Azzam Shaath adds: “There are reasons related to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu himself, who uses prolonging his attack on Gaza as an excuse to escape from internal rights in Israel, including overthrowing his coalition and removing him from power, and his appearance before the judicial institution on postponed corruption charges.”

This is also inseparable from the reasons related to the results of the Israeli aggression, which Israel has not yet achieved its goals, especially its goals related to eliminating Hamas’ rule in the Gaza Strip, targeting its leaders, and liberating its prisoners, according to Shaath.

Perhaps this is what prompts the political and military levels in Israel - and in line with proposals for the continuation of the aggression against Gaza - to expand the possible military attacks in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, in the coming weeks, regardless of the losses and woes to which more than a million and a half of the displaced people in the city will be exposed. .

Hamas is also in trouble

The American researcher specializing in international and strategic affairs, Irina Zuckerman, believes that the Hamas movement is facing a severe dilemma regarding arrangements for the second day of the war, and Netanyahu is also facing a state of confusion and inability to make a decision to end the war.

Tsukerman told Sky News Arabia that the Hamas leadership, which began the October 7 crisis, knows that its exit from the Gaza Strip means its end, so it insists on remaining inside the Strip and exposing more Palestinians to death.

Hamas leaders are supposed to be tried for the October 7 crime and the subsequent war that led to the killing of tens of thousands, so they insist on remaining within their small state inside the Strip.

The American researcher considers that continuing the war is the only way to potentially gain gains, in a finger-biting game between the leaders of Hamas and Netanyahu. She also confirms that Netanyahu does not have the luxury of abandoning his support for the government, otherwise it will fall, and each party in this government is currently searching for its political future after The end of the war in Gaza.

Tsukerman says that Israel is committed to its national security priorities, and cannot afford not to completely destroy Hamas' military structure, otherwise the conflict will be renewed, with Hamas being in a better position to fight this war later due to its political role.

How do Netanyahu and his government think?

For his part, Dr. Meir Masri, professor of political science at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and member of the Central Committee of the Labor Party, told Sky News Arabia that Netanyahu’s greatest sin is that he chose to coexist with Hamas and let it grow and arm itself, despite its attacks on Israel more than 45,000 rockets and shells before October 7, and claimed responsibility for killings inside Israel.

Meir Masri adds: “Israel has no choice but to continue the process of cleansing the Gaza Strip until it eliminates the authority of Hamas and other terrorist militias. The issue is not related to Netanyahu, as there is an unprecedented popular consensus in Israel behind the ongoing military operations and rejects any ceasefire before the last ISIS is defeated in sector.”

On the part of Hamas, Masri says, “Al-Sanwar is nothing but a tool in the hands of well-known regional powers that move it in coordination with the leaders of the Political Bureau who plan Hamas’ crimes from Doha’s palaces. These forces will not accept Hamas’ surrender, whatever the cost. On the hypocritical world.” To give Israel sufficient time to complete the mission.”

The professor of political science at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem continues: “The United States, with its majesty, fought ISIS for two years, with the help of a group of great powers. Israel has been facing ‘Hamas’ alone for less than 4 months. ‘Hamas’ is much stronger than ISIS, as it It was able to build a highly sophisticated terrorist arsenal throughout its control of the Gaza Strip.
