After the interim ceasefire agreement was reached, Israel** issued a statement announcing that it would continue fighting after the ceasefire ended, with the aim of completely eliminating Hamas. The statement sparked public concern and speculation, with many believing that Hamas could no longer escape its defeat. Israel's military overwhelm of Hamas, coupled with the support of the United States, seems that Hamas is destined to be difficult to resist. However, I think that Hamas has actually won this conflict outright.
Israel's harsh words did not panic Hamas, on the contrary, they probably saw it as a threat. During the nearly two-month conflict, Hamas has made clear its goal of disrupting relations between the Arab leadership and Israel. Now, they have succeeded in achieving this goal. No matter how cold the leading countries in the Middle East may be, they are unlikely to have a clear relationship with Israel, because the will of the people represented by Hamas cannot be ignored. Hamas, on the other hand, has managed to transform itself from an armed group into a symbol of resistance to oppression in the Middle East through resistance that is not afraid of death in this conflict. Even if the Israeli army physically dismantles Hamas, it will still sprout in the rubble as long as the symbol remains. Unless Israel really has millions of Palestinians, the revolt will never end as long as there are survivors.
Hamas fighters have proved with their own blood that the well-armed Israeli army is not invincible. As the saying goes, "Once God has shed blood, then it is no longer truly God." "Israel's truce does not mean that it has become benevolent, but that it has become untenable. In addition, it should be noted that in addition to Hamas, which weakened Israel's "divine power", the United States received a similar blow. If the Russia-Ukraine conflict reveals that the financial strength of the United States is not enough, its "great help" and "magic weapon" are only superficial things. However, Hamas's tactical raid using 1,500 rockets directly exposed the ability of the United States to conduct multiple wars at the same time, revealing its actual internal dilemma.
Hamas's fighters have proved in their own flesh and blood that Israel is not invincible. The conflict shook the globe and opened the world's eyes to the weakness of the Israeli army. Israel has always been regarded as a military power in the past, enjoying a reputation as a "god army" with advanced equipment and well-trained soldiers. However, Hamas's resistance has led to doubts about Israel's image of invincibility. This conflict has shown that no country or army can achieve absolute victory on the battlefield. Even if Israel eventually eliminated Hamas, they paid a huge price, which would be a loss for Israel.
On the other hand, Hamas's tactical raids have also put the United States in an awkward position. As a global hegemon, the United States has always prided itself on its formidable military capabilities and global dominance. However, Hamas's rocket attacks using gliders directly reveal the dilemma of the United States in terms of fighting multiple wars at once. This conflict has made people see the weakness of the United States' power, which has called into question its military superiority. Hamas succeeded in weakening the military deterrence of Israel and the United States, thereby winning a psychological victory in this war.
Although it is difficult for Hamas to achieve a military victory, it has won a strategic victory from the perspective of fighting Israel's arrogance and inspiring the will of the people of the Middle East to resist oppression. Regardless of the outcome of the conflict, Neche Netanyahu will face serious political pressure, and he will most likely not be able to get out completely. Even if Hamas were to be annihilated by Israel, it would be a glorious victory.
The end of the conflict does not mean the stabilization of the situation in the Middle East, on the contrary, it is only the end of a phase in which new challenges will follow. Netanyahu will face mounting domestic pressure to take responsibility for his failures in the conflict and promise to change Israeli policy. This will not only affect Netanyahu's personal political future, but could also have serious repercussions for Israel as a whole**. Netanyahu would be a political disaster for him if he could not stay out of the political arena.
At the same time, Hamas will face unprecedented challenges. They have won a psychological victory over the conflict and boosted the morale of the peoples of the Middle East to resist oppression. However, sustaining this victory and translating it into tangible political results will be a daunting task. Hamas needs to consolidate its leadership and prevent internal chaos and**. They also face pressure from Israel and the international community to deal with political and humanitarian issues, both domestic and foreign. For Hamas, the real victory will be the realization of the rights and autonomy of the Palestinian people after the end of the conflict.
Hamas did not win militarily in the conflict with Israel, but strategically they have won the war. Hamas has succeeded in striking at Israel's arrogance, revealing the military weaknesses of Israel and the United States, while also boosting the will of the peoples of the Middle East to resist oppression. While the outcome of the final conflict remains unknown, Hamas has won a psychological victory and has won widespread support in the Middle East. However, the challenges and difficulties ahead will also be everywhere, and Hamas needs to consolidate its leadership and realize the rights and autonomy of the Palestinian people through political means.
