OCCUPIED AL-QUDS July 06. 2024 (Saba) - The Zionist newspaper Maariv confirmed that the options for Israel for the day after the war in the Gaza Strip, and regardless of the debate over who will run the Strip - any alternative to Hamas does not seem realistic, as it is the sovereign and the ruler.
Years after the Israeli invasion of the West Bank in 2002, the Israeli army is still engaged in continuous battles with Palestinians there.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has no answer or plan for a civilian alternative for the residents of the Gaza Strip, and as was the case six months ago, "Netanyahu only knows today that he does not want the Palestinian Authority to be in Gaza, because this means embarking on a path that leads directly to a political process based on a two-state solution."
"No force, body or state will agree to set foot in Gaza, neither physically nor with a commitment on paper, as long as Hamas remains on the ground, alive, sovereign and active, distributing food to the tents of the displaced," it said.
The newspaper went on to describe the Israel's perplexity regarding the next day's plan, saying, "There is no better way to describe the current situation than by the term 'deadlock', as Hamas controls Gaza, because there is no alternative.
The newspaper quoted an unnamed senior officer in the occupation army as saying in one of the closed hearings of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, "Elections will be held in Israel before Benjamin Netanyahu, as prime minister, has to present the public with an alternative to control Gaza."
"Acknowledge the truth and say out loud that there is no realistic alternative, and it seems that Hamas will remain in Gaza and in our reality," the newspaper commented.
Even if Netanyahu loudly announces that he is withdrawing his opposition to the Palestinian Authority as part of the alternative solution to Gaza, this announcement will not change reality.
Hamas leaders are pinning their hopes on a prisoner exchange deal that will allow them to expel the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip, so that the movement will be sovereign and ruled, as it was before the war began.
