Alwaght- Anti-Palestinian propaganda of the Israeli media in recent weeks suggests that a part of the content of the Israeli media that has focused on exaggeration about the military power of Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), as they make attempts to convey the message that the Israeli military should launch a new operation against the Gaza Strip to destroy the military infrastructure of Hamas that could probably be used against the Israeli regime. Realistically, is such an invasion likely to happen? Does the Israeli regime need and desire to launch an all-out military attack on the Gaza Strip?
As a matter of fact, in the present circumstances to achieve its objectives and eliminate the resistance in the Gaza Strip, the Zionist regime has no choice but to reoccupy the Gaza Strip, because a short-term military action against Hamas will not have significant outcomes for the Israeli regime, and after a while the situation would again return to status quo and this group would be re-mobilized to fight the Israeli regime. Accordingly, about five months ago, the Israeli army issued a document based on which, in any future conflicts between Hamas and the Israeli regime, the main goal must be to seize control of Hamas’ main power centers.
Nevertheless, no Israeli leader seems to be willing to reoccupy the Gaza Strip, as there are many factors that reduce the possibility of another Israeli invasion on Gaza Strip which include:
- The Israeli political figures and its strategic centers believe that Hamas Movement currently is deeply reluctant to get involved in any military confrontation with the Israeli regime. In fact, Hamas seeks a way out of the bottleneck created by the severe blockade of Gaza imposed by the Israeli regime, rather than the idea of a new conflict with the Israeli regime. Meanwhile, the officials of Hamas Movement have also reiterated on several occasions that they do not seek confrontation with the Israeli regime.
- The Israeli military action in Gaza Strip is not acceptable as a response to cover up the failure of the regime to calm the situation in the West Bank, because the anti-Zionist activities and the Palestinian Intifada have not been initiated by organizational work of the Palestinian groups, rather they are merely individual actions mainly carried out by the Palestinian youth. That's why it is not expected that Israeli military actions in the Gaza Strip can reduce the intensity of anti-Israeli operations in al-Quds and the West Bank, even it may lead to the escalation of the operations.
- After a recent agreement between Turkey and the Israeli regime on normalization of bilateral political relations, all efforts are made to reduce the intensity of the blockade of Gaza Strip. In other words, such an agreement would reduce the possibility of an Israeli war against Hamas and the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, for the Israeli regime the normalization of its relations with Turkey is of great importance, and for this reason it does not wish to lose the new opportunity and is reluctant to create more tensions in the Gaza Strip.
- On the southern border of the Gaza Strip, the borders are strictly controlled by Egypt. The Egyptians monitor any movements and have also tightened up their grip on Hamas, actually they act as the Israeli regime wishes.
Nevertheless, the possibility of an Israeli military action against the Gaza Strip could not be totally ignored, as the aggravated difficult economic situation in the Gaza Strip may become chaotic and out of control, a situation a part of its consequences might be possible military action against the Zionist regime.
