Israel Netanyahu: I have the final say!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly stated that there are three conditions that must be met in order to achieve peace in Gaza. However, there are widespread doubts about whether Netanyahu will be able to achieve this goal. In an article published in Wall Street, Netanyahu pointed out that Israel is eager to achieve peace in Gaza as soon as possible, but Hamas's actions have become an obstacle. He believes that the Israeli army was forced to take "defiance" actions and continue to attack Hamas because Hamas was the first to attack Israel. Netanyahu stressed that in order to prevent more civilians in Gaza from being harmed by Hamas, Israel must implement its plan to eliminate Hamas as soon as possible, which is not only an option, but also the best thing Israel can do at the moment. He also noted that despite the suspicions of the international community about Israel, the actions of the Israeli army are in full compliance with international law. Netanyahu said that in order to eradicate Hamas, Israel had to conduct military operations, and although the process could lead to some civilian injuries, Israel would do everything in its power to ensure that Palestinians were injured in the war as much as possible.

Netanyahu set out three conditions for peace in Gaza, including the elimination of Hamas, the deradicalization of Palestinian society, and the demilitarization of Gaza. In order to achieve these three conditions as soon as possible, Netanyahu said that he would establish a temporary security zone on the edge of Gaza and deploy in the corresponding areas to conduct stricter checks on people entering and leaving the country to stop "smuggling into Gaza." Israel's stance was tougher than ever, after offering to sign a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, and the United States, which also supported Israel's approach. A series of Israeli actions have also led Hamas to consider ceasefire options, and Hamas's Politburo leader, Haniyeh, has traveled to Egypt to discuss related issues. However, as Israel advocated the signing of a ceasefire agreement, Hamas also put forward its own conditions: release the detainees according to the Hamas list, and demand that Israeli soldiers lay down and retreat first. There has been a new twist in the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. Hamas has put forward a series of conditions intended to reveal Israel's true intentions to avoid being attacked by Israel after the ceasefire.

However, Israel responded that it would not withdraw its troops and would not release all the hostages according to Hamas's list, effectively rejecting all of Hamas's terms for a ceasefire. This is the end of the first remote "negotiations" between Hamas and Israel, but the contradictions between the two sides have not been resolved. Subsequently, Israel carried out an attack on the Magazy refugee camp in central Gaza. According to Mohammed Abu Shah, a resident of Gaza, he witnessed a barrage of bombs being dropped on the refugee camp, enough to destroy a mountain range. According to statistics, at least 70 people have died as a result of the attack. After the incident, Netanyahu traveled to the Gaza Strip and informed the Palestinians that Israel would expand the scope of the war. He expects the fight to continue for quite some time, stressing that he will not stop until all the objectives are achieved. In view of this, it is impossible for Hamas to accept the three peace conditions proposed by Netanyahu, thus making Israel** clear its position: Hamas no longer has illusions, Israel has no intention of negotiating with it, and they only want to continue the war until the goal is achieved.

It seems that Israel is already automatically immune to pressure from the international community, while trying to put all the blame on Hamas. As a result, the desire for a ceasefire between the Palestinians and Israelis has become more difficult.
