Israel has recently adopted a series of obsessive tactics against Hamas aimed at obscuring Hamas's presence in Gaza. As a result, Hamas will not be able to determine whether Gaza will have a future of its own existence, nor will it be able to determine the hope of continuing to resist. By breaking Hamas's will to resist, Israel can significantly reduce its losses in the ensuing military operations. There are clear contradictions in the information released by Israel about Hamas.
However, the war in Gaza promoted by Israel is not only a psychological warfare of the Ecstasy Formation, but also a contest of ** wars. The information released by Israel hints at the following:
1.Establish a buffer zone in northern Gaza. Israel has conveyed to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries its intention to create a buffer zone in northern Gaza, telling Hamas that it has room to survive as long as it abandons militant armed resistance. However, if Hamas is to gain space for development and political goals in Gaza, it will not be enough to simply abandon resistance in northern Gaza.
2.The global quest to kill Hamas members. Israel's announcement that it will pursue the killing of Hamas members globally after the end of the war in Gaza means that Israel acknowledges Hamas's long-standing existence but retaliates with state terrorism. However, there is a legal obstacle to this approach, as it directly challenges the sovereignty of other countries.
3.Eradicate Hamas with war. According to sources, Israel's plan to completely eradicate Hamas within the next year indicates that Israel aims to achieve its goals through a protracted war. However, such a plan does not address the heavy economic burden and international pressure imposed on Israel by the war in Gaza.
4.Military operations in southern Gaza. The Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Herzi Al-Halewi, announced that the offensive in southern Gaza would be no less intense than the operation in the north. This means that while a temporary ceasefire can be considered an intermission, Israel's plan to destroy Hamas continues.
However, Hamas's response to a temporary ceasefire has been fraught with ambivalence. On the one hand, they stressed Israel's rejection of the hostage-exchange ceasefire planOn the other hand, they accuse the United States of allowing Israel to create a humanitarian catastrophe. This suggests that Hamas still sees the hostage exchange as an effective solution to the war in Gaza, but this view is likely to be wrong.
Israel's objectives, from the point of view of its objectives, hope to achieve its strategic objectives by freeing hostages, eliminating Hamas and preventing the emergence of a "terrorist regime" in Gaza. Israel has been releasing news about the future of governance in Gaza, which seems to leave room for the imagination of Hamas's existence, but in reality, Israel's real aim is to fully occupy southern Gaza at a much lower cost.
1.The price of a temporary ceasefire is the release of the hostages, and for Israel it is only an opportunity for an intermission or remediation, and the time is on the Israeli side. As long as the hostage exchange does not meet Israel's needs, the fighting will continue, while the Israeli army is better prepared and Hamas's leverage is dwindling.
2.Hamas argues that the actions of the Israeli army are an obstacle to ceasefire negotiations, but in fact Israel is not aiming at ceasefire negotiations. There is a fundamental gap between Hamas's desire to use hostages to negotiate a ceasefire, while Israel's use of a temporary ceasefire to rescue the hostages, has created a fundamental gap.
Overall, in the Gaza war, Israel is playing a kind of psychological warfare that prevents Hamas from judging its strategic intentions. However, as outsiders, we should be well aware that Israel's real goal is the total elimination of Hamas, and that all other negotiations are only aimed at achieving this goal, which is very cruel but determined by reality. Although this war is no longer news, we still have to pay attention to the ** war and psychological warfare in it, which is a protracted struggle and the cruel reality hidden behind a game. We can't change this reality, but we can better understand and adapt to the development of the world through rational thinking and understanding of the situation.
