Israeli FM: There is a time window of up to three weeks “for heavy international pressure to begin” to stop the war
“We realize that increasing pressure has begun on Israel,” Cohen said, adding: “I estimate that this is a window of time of two to three weeks until the heavy international pressure begins” on Tel Aviv.
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen reported increasing pressure on Israel regarding its ongoing war on the Gaza Strip, estimating that the pressure will increase significantly within two or three weeks.
“We realize that increasing pressure has begun on Israel,” Cohen said, adding: “I estimate that this is a window of time of two to three weeks, until heavy international pressure begins” on Tel Aviv.
According to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, “Israel received the green light for a military response after October 7, and is now at the end of the orange light, before the red light.”
This comes as military analysts in Israeli newspapers pointed out, yesterday, Sunday, that there are several factors that would prevent the continuation of the war on Gaza in its current form and intensity, in addition to the “structural contradiction” between Israel’s two goals in this war - eliminating the Hamas movement and returning the prisoners in Gaza. Gaza, while world public opinion is pressuring the leaders of Western countries to in turn exert pressure on Israel and demand a ceasefire in light of the horrific number of civilian martyrs in the Gaza Strip.
As the Israeli occupation forces approach the Shifa Hospital in Gaza and besiege it more and more, claiming that Hamas leaders are under it, the military analyst in the Maariv newspaper, Tal Lev Ram, pointed out that besieging the hospital “constitutes an opportunity for Hamas through increased international pressure and criticism.” "The world directs it to Israel. It would also encourage violent incidents against Jews around the world, and cause Hezbollah to escalate its military operations against Israel."
He added, "It is clear that the passage of time does not play in Israel's favor. Hence the large gap between the feeling of the success of the forces in the field and the big questions about whether the military operation, no matter how good it is, will bring Israel closer to achieving the major goals of defeating Hamas and returning the kidnapped people."
The American administration leaked through American media that Israel’s time in the war in its current form is “limited,” and that it has a week or two at most to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza. The Israeli army appears to be isolated from the world, according to the Israeli media, which indicates that the army is talking about that the war will continue for many months.
