Nova rodada de cessar-fogo e negociações de reféns fracassa Yesbingo Doha

A nother round of ceasefire and hostage talks, this time 😄 in Doha, has ended in disappointment. This is in large part because Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is unlikely to 😄 accept any agreement that Hamas could present as a victory – and has handcuffed the Israeli mediators with conditions that 😄 appear impossible for Hamas to accept.

A batalha pela dignidade nacional e honra

Huge quantities of explosives have been dropped on Gaza 😄 by Israel since 7 October because of the humiliation felt by all Israelis, and especially Israel's leaders and military. So 😄 much of this war over more than 10 months has been fought on both sides as a war of revenge. 😄 Nonetheless, it also has major strategic consequences for Israel, Hamas, the Palestinian people, the nations of the region, and the 😄 world's major powers – above all the United States.

As condições israelenses para um acordo

Hamas will view and present any agreement 😄 with Israel that ends the war in Gaza, leads to the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the strip, and releases 😄 Palestinian prisoners, as a victory and Israeli surrender. Therefore Israeli negotiators will not agree to a full withdrawal, and are 😄 demanding long-term Israeli military presence along the Gaza-Egypt border, and a security mechanism that would ensure that armed Hamas and 😄 other military personnel cannot move from the south of Gaza to the north. In addition, Netanyahu is demanding a veto 😄 on the Palestinian prisoners who would be released in the deal, and that those serving life sentences would be deported 😄 outside Palestine for life. These additional conditions are unacceptable to Hamas.

O risco de mais mortes

It is also difficult to imagine 😄 that Netanyahu will make any deal with Hamas before the killing of the main Hamas leaders in Gaza, primarily Yahya 😄 Sinwar. When the Israeli military finds Sinwar and kills him, there are likely to be Israeli hostages surrounding him and 😄 the bunker may be booby-trapped with explosives. There is likely to be a fight to the death that may result 😄 in Israeli soldiers and hostages being killed as well as the Hamas leaders and their soldiers. There is also a 😄 risk that Hamas militants will kill more hostages when their leader is killed.

A ética israelense Yesbingo questão

For most of the 😄 people of Israel, there is no victory without the return of the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza. Yet these negotiations 😄 make clear that Netanyahu has put his impossible goal of total victory before their safe return. Many of them may 😄 no longer be alive, whether killed by Hamas or Israeli bombs. There is a possibility that some of those bodies 😄 may never be found and returned. Historically, Israel's ethos has been centred on the principle that no one is left 😄 behind. The world was stunned in 2011 when Israel released 1,027 Palestinian prisoners (of whom more than 300 were serving 😄 life terms for violent attacks) in exchange for just one Israeli soldier. At the time, about 80% of Israelis supported 😄 that deal and 26 members of Netanyahu's government voted in favour of it, with only three ministers in opposition. That 😄 ethos seems now to be broken. No one can accuse Netanyahu of not wanting to bring the hostages home, but 😄 it seems quite clear that this is not his first priority. Most Israeli pundits believe that Netanyahu's "total victory" is 😄 more about extending the war for as long as possible in order to remain in power. The prime minister is 😄 slowly rising in the polls as his base, which in good part had deserted him after the Hamas attack, begins 😄 to return.

O papel dos mediadores

The chances of successful Israeli-Hamas negotiations ride on the amount of leverage mediators are willing to 😄 apply to both sides as fresh talks resume next week. The BR has significant power over Israel, both in the 😄 political cover that the BR provides Israel in the UN and in the ability to stop the flow of bombs 😄 to Israel. The BR could say that it would have Israel's back if it were attacked by Iran or by 😄 Hezbollah, but it would no longer provide bombs for Israel to drop on Gaza. Egypt and Qatar each have significant 😄 leverage over Hamas: parts of the Hamas leadership are based in Doha, while the Rafah crossing has acted as a 😄 lifeline to the Gaza Strip. There are reported to be 160,000 Palestinians who escaped the horrors of the war in 😄 Gaza and who are overstaying their visas in Egypt. This is another point of leverage on Hamas, or on the 😄 Palestinian people.

O fim da guerra e o caminho para a paz

At this point, more than 10 months into the war 😄 with more than 40,000 people killed in Gaza and more than 1,600 Israelis killed, this war must come to an 😄 end. There is no military solution to this conflict and there has never been one. There must be a new 😄 path to a negotiated end of the larger conflict, but it begins by ending this war, Israel withdrawing from Gaza, 😄 Israeli hostages coming home and the establishment of a secure border between Gaza and Egypt. That would pave the way 😄 for the creation of a responsible and legitimate non-Hamas government in Gaza, an Arab-led international force in Gaza for a 😄 limited period of time, new elections in Palestine, new elections in Israel and then a regional peace process that will 😄 bring about the two-state solution, with an end to the Israeli occupation, a free democratic Palestine, and freedom, peace and 😄 security for all.
