The situation in the Gaza Strip continues to escalate, and the fighting between Israel and Hamas is intensifying. Although the ceasefire has been negotiated for seven days, the battlefield in the Gaza Strip has not subsided. Israel has adopted a strategy known as the "Ecstasy" in an attempt to confuse Hamas about the future fate of Gaza and to uncertainty whether it still has a place to live. Israel ostensibly gives Hamas hope for a ceasefire, but it has also fogged the hope of its resistance. If Hamas's will to resist is weakened, the Israeli army's losses in carrying out its next military operation will be greatly reduced. As a result, Israel has recently released a number of information about Hamas, including the establishment of a buffer zone in northern Gaza, the global quest to kill Hamas members, the planned eradication of Hamas in a year's time, and the launch of a military operation in southern Gaza. These messages may seem contradictory on the surface, but in essence they are all aimed at weakening Hamas's resistance.
There is a certain complexity in the progress of the battle in Gaza. Israel is not only facing a heavy economic burden and international pressure, but also has to manage its relations with other countries. Despite Israel's claim that it will pursue the killing of Hamas members globally after the end of the fighting in Gaza, in practice the use of force in other countries faces serious legal obstacles, as it directly challenges the sovereignty of other countries. And Israel is at risk of continuing the fighting in Gaza. Despite Israel's determination to destroy Hamas within a year, the ongoing fighting in Gaza could make Israel's plans difficult.
Hamas is now facing a huge dilemma. On the one hand, in any interim ceasefire negotiations, Hamas must release the hostages, which happens to be an opportunity for the Israeli army to take a break and recuperate, thus allowing time to be more favorable on the Israeli side. On the other hand, the release of the hostages alone will not satisfy the needs of the Israeli side, and the fighting will undoubtedly continue, and the Israeli army is becoming more and more prepared, and Hamas itself is getting less and less leverage. In addition, Hamas claims that the actions of the Israeli army are obstructing the ceasefire negotiations, but the problem is that Israel's purpose is not to negotiate a ceasefire at all. The basic difference between Hamas's desire to use hostages as bargaining chips, while Israel's desire to use hostages as a bargaining chip in the name of a temporary ceasefire to save the hostages, is essentially pursuing war and destroying the other side.
Hamas's misjudgment of the situation has been misplaced. Israel's constant unleashing of messages about the future of governance in Gaza seems to have given Hamas the illusion of continued existence and the false belief that there is hope for Gaza as long as it gives up resistance. However, Israel's goal is to occupy southern Gaza completely, and the so-called buffer zone is only the beginning of Israel's devouring of Gaza. Israel has been playing psychological tactics that prevent Hamas from determining its strategic intentions, but as outsiders, we must be clear that Israel's ultimate goal is to eliminate Hamas completely. Neither negotiations nor anything else is just for this purpose.
Looking back at the war in Gaza throughout the war, the situation in the Gaza Strip has not subsided and is actually becoming increasingly tense. While the Ecstasy has confused Hamas about Israel's strategic intentions, the war in the Gaza Strip has actually entered an unquestionable phase: Israel will do its best to eliminate Hamas. Negotiations on a temporary ceasefire or other agreements are merely means for Israel to achieve that ultimate goal.
The brutal reality of the war in Gaza is heartbreaking, but we cannot avoid it, we must face it squarely. This war is not only a conflict on the battlefield, but also a ** war and psychological warfare. Israel weakens Hamas's resistance through the Ecstasy, while using international pressure and economic burden to force Hamas into submission. However, Hamas is still hoping for peace through a hostage-for-ceasefire, but this is doomed to be wrong. There is only one outcome of the war in Gaza, and that is that Israel will finally achieve its goal of completely eliminating Hamas.
Behind the battle for Gaza is untold complexity and pain. Both Israel and Hamas are fighting for their own interests and principles. As outsiders, we cannot feel the cruelty and helplessness of war, but we should maintain an objective and rational attitude to analyze and think. War is never the best way to solve problems, and it only costs innocent people dearly.
The solution to the war in Gaza lies in whether the two sides can put aside their rivalries and return to the negotiating table to resolve their differences and disputes through peaceful means. The international community should intensify its good offices to promote the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. It is only through peace that hope and tranquility can be brought to those who are suffering.
In this world of strife and contradictions, each of us should think about how we can contribute to peace. No matter where we are, we can start by our people to spread understanding and inclusion, and promote reconciliation and cooperation among all parties. The war situation in the Gaza Strip is becoming increasingly complex and tense. Although a temporary ceasefire in Gaza has been in place for seven days, the fighting has not stopped. Israel has adopted a strategy known as the "Ecstasy" in an attempt to confuse Hamas about the future of the Gaza Strip and whether there is still room for survival. Israel implements this strategy by publishing Hamas-related information, but this information seems somewhat contradictory on the surface.
First, Israel has told Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries to create a buffer zone in northern Gaza, suggesting that as long as Hamas abandons its aggressive policy of armed resistance, there is room to survive. Second, Israel's announcement that it will pursue a global quest to kill Hamas members after the end of the battle for Gaza also means that Hamas will remain in existence for a long time, but may run into trouble in other countries. In addition, Israel has revealed through sources that it plans to spend another year completely eliminating Hamas by means of war. Finally, the Israeli army began its military operation in southern Gaza, demonstrating that Israel will not stop its plans to destroy Hamas.
For Hamas, there are many dilemmas and strategic miscalculations. The release of the hostages is a necessary price for Hamas in the negotiations for a temporary ceasefire, but it gives Israel time to prepare and recuperate. Hamas wants to negotiate a ceasefire through hostages, but Israel's aim is not to negotiate a ceasefire. Hamas is also blaming Israel for refusing to engage in a hostage exchange and accusing the United States of allowing Israel to create a humanitarian catastrophe. However, Israel's goal is to free the hostages, eliminate Hamas and prevent the emergence of a "terrorist regime".
Looking back at the entire course of the war in Gaza, it can be seen that the situation in the Gaza Strip has not been calmed down, but has become increasingly tense. Although Israel has weakened Hamas's resistance through the strategy of the Ecstasy, this does not mean that the war in Gaza is coming to an end. Israel has been playing psychological tactics to make it impossible for Hamas to determine its strategic intentions, but in reality, Israel's ultimate goal is to eliminate Hamas completely.
The reality of the war in Gaza is brutal, with innocent people paying a huge price. War will not solve problems, but will only exacerbate contradictions and harm. The answer to the battle in Gaza lies in peaceful negotiations and settlement. The international community should intensify its good offices to advance the peace process and provide humanitarian assistance and support. As individuals, we should also think about how we can contribute to peace, spread understanding and tolerance, and promote reconciliation and cooperation among all parties. Only through peace can the Gaza Strip bring long-term stability and prosperity.
