Israeli Writer| New exposed Israeli lies

The general Israeli public is not privy to information about the course of the war derived from sources other than the army. Some of the lies promoted by the army are beginning to be exposed by mere facts.

As the brutal Israeli war on Gaza approaches its fourth month, the range of questions being raised in Israel has also expanded, especially from analysts and opinion writers on the right-wing spectrum. These are questions that would shed light on what can be considered an ongoing and gradual failure that followed the greatest strategic failure. Which was revealed by the Al-Aqsa flood attack on October 7. Drawing these questions alone, the following can be noted:

First, although the general Israeli public does not have access to information about the conduct of the war from sources other than the army, some of the lies promoted by the army are beginning to be exposed by the bare facts. For example, those related to dry statistics. The Israeli army published before the end of last year that the frequency of launching rockets and shells from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory was on December 7, 1975 and then decreased, thanks to the “military achievements” achieved, to 23 On December 27, it reached 14, which means it was “eroded” by 80%. Immediately afterwards, more than 20 rockets were launched from Gaza towards central Israel. From this, an opinion columnist for the newspaper Yisrael Hayom concluded that the army is lying in order to prevent the loss of “national righteousness.”

Secondly, this Israeli lie is not limited to the alleged losses of the Palestinian resistance, and its reflection on its capabilities and ability to withstand and confront, but also applies to the stages of the war according to its general nature, and each stage separately. What is meant is not only the timetable and the starting and ending points, but also the goals that were set for each stage and the extent of their achievement. 

What is being debated most over the past few days is the end date of what is described as the second phase of the war, when the comprehensive air and artillery bombardment will stop, and the transition will take place to the third phase, which, in the Israeli interpretation, means directing military operations against the Hamas movement and the resistance factions only. 

Recent news circulating in the Israeli media indicates that there is a disagreement between Israel and the United States regarding the start date of the third phase, noting that Washington wants it to begin no later than mid-January, while Israel insists that it begin finishing the second phase. Moving to the third in late January.

In this axis, the conclusions of several analysts on the right-wing spectrum confirm, as can be inferred from what appears in the newspaper “Israel Hayom”, that the frequent talk about moving to the third stage is parallel to the absence of when did the second stage begin? What were its goals? What did you achieve from it? 

Among what was written in one of these analyses: Reports on the progress of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip have become similar, the achievements are very slow and meager, and the high prices are piling up. The fiery statements regarding the elimination of the Hamas movement and its leaders began to be dominated by ambiguity, and instead other ideas began to emerge, which were rejected by Israel, such as expelling the movement’s leaders, as happened with the leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization during the war on Lebanon in 1982, and integrating the movement’s fighters into the authorities’ apparatus. Palestinian.

Third, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies on the extreme right do not hesitate to announce positions that contradict what the United States desires regarding the day after the war. In contrast, right-wing analysts assert that the authors of this declaration have the “luxury” of announcing contradictory positions, but not the ability not to implement Washington’s desires. 

There is no doubt that any reading of the American role in the current war must start from the fact that it will not remain limited to providing support to Israel and supplying it with ammunition during the war, but rather goes beyond that to intervening in formulating a political and strategic horizon for it, and linking the Israeli military objectives to the political and strategic objectives and interests of the United States. In the Middle East.
