As the Palestinian-Israeli conflict entered December, the Israeli army launched a continuous onslaught on the Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip, which sparked heated discussions in the previous paragraph of the surrender of Hamas personnel to the Israeli army.
* The report shows shirtless suspected Hamas militants being forced to surrender, which IDF Chief of Staff Al-Halevi interpreted as a sign of the collapse of Hamas's ruling system. Although Hamas subsequently denied the content, in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Hamas's losses have become more and more serious, and it is difficult to withstand the Israeli offensive.
The "surrender of Hamas personnel"** Israel insists on December 9 is proof of the collapse of Hamas's ruling system. Hamas, however, has vehemently denied the incident, calling it an Israeli fabrication. Whether this capitulation is true or not, it is a serious blow to Hamas's morale.
In order to confirm that the surrenderers were not hiding**, Israel asked them to take off their clothes and blindfold. Despite the suspicions raised, Israel insisted it was to check if it was hidden**, saying that the weather in the Middle East was warm and that it was necessary to take off clothes.
In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the losses of the Hamas forces were enormous, including thousands of armed men**, including senior commanders. Israel has frankly stated that for every Hamas member killed, two civilians** could be killed. This neglect of civilians** has led to condemnation of Israel by the international community.
Despite Israel's military superiority, it is under international pressure. Biden warned Netanyahu that Israel could lose global support because of Israel's extensive bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Biden mentioned that the purpose of the creation of international institutions after World War II was to prevent war, warning Israel not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Moreover, Hamas, though less powerful than Israel, is deeply entrenched in the Gaza Strip, and its existence stems from Israel's long-standing bullying of the Palestinians. Hamas is not an ordinary armed force, it adopts urban guerrilla warfare, which is difficult to completely exterminate. If Israel wants to completely eliminate Hamas, it will have to pay more costs and time.
The United States is seen as a staunch supporter of Israel, but it also faces pressure from the international community. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin expressed concern about the situation in Gaza by reiterating support for Israel, but at the same time working with other countries to preserve freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
The international community's accusations and criticisms of Israel are growing and demand a ceasefire in Gaza. In this Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel faces pressure and condemnation from all sides. Although the United States still supports Israel, the international community's condemnation and condemnation of it cannot be ignored.
Israel may have the upper hand in this conflict, but the costs and international pressures it faces cannot be ignored. As the international community calls for an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel and the United States may have to pay the price for their decisions and actions.
