Only Netanyahu seeks regional war

Since the first day of the war on the Gaza Strip, the image of the war became clear as a comprehensive war of genocide to destroy all sources of livelihood for the people in the besieged Strip with fire from the air, sea and land, with a very clear goal of forcing people to emigrate due to the lack of hope of regaining what enables people to survive. Over the past ten months, the parties supporting the resistance, as well as Washington, have been able to thwart Netanyahu's opportunity to prevent it from slipping into a regional war to implicate the United States, which has stood and stands by the Israeli aggression without any equivocation, but without being drawn into expanding its circle.
The United States, which provided political and “legal” cover for this war, sent its fleets and established air and sea bridges to supply Israel with all the weapons and money it needed, and engaged in an attempt to demonize the Palestinian resistance, did all of this not only because of its strategic commitment to Israel’s security and military superiority, which has become seriously questionable. However, this support and presence in the waters of the Mediterranean and Red Seas aimed to raise a red card for the allies of the so-called Axis of Resistance led by Iran, so that they would refrain from engaging to the fullest extent of their capabilities in supporting the Palestinian resistance, and in a way that would limit, from its point of view, the risk of slipping into such a regional war.

In contrast, the Lebanese resistance was able to impose rules of engagement in the context of the Iranian position, which absolutely does not want to engage directly in this war, and limits it to a long-term war of attrition, aiming to prevent the defeat of the Palestinian resistance in the Strip, and the same applies to the Houthis and the Iraqi resistance, where the axis, with all its parties, determined that their supportive participation is limited to stopping the war of extermination against the Strip, and opening its crossings for humanitarian relief, and nothing more.

This war of attrition, in which Israel failed to achieve any of its strategic goals, except for the shame of committing genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, only Netanyahu and his fascist government gang want this war to continue, and this explains Netanyahu’s continued manipulation of the possibility of reaching a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal, despite Biden’s announcement of what was known as his initiative, which he attributed to Israel and outlined in a Security Council resolution, which the resistance welcomed. Nevertheless, Netanyahu continues to manipulate this matter, disregarding American interests, whether electoral or those related to its interests in the region, the essence of which is not to drag Washington into a regional war, in which Netanyahu is working to implicate it, to satisfy his personal political interests to remain in power and escape any accountability for his corruption cases or his responsibility for what has become known as the “October 7 failure.”

In this context, Netanyahu's game and his escalation adventure can be explained, shortly after his visit to Washington, where, despite his celebration in the applause Congress, he apparently heard from officials there, and for the first time, serious talk about the need to stop the war. In order to twist this position, Netanyahu carried out his dangerous adventure by assassinating Fouad Shukr "Mr. Mohsen", the most prominent military leader of Hezbollah, and then playing with fire with Tehran by assassinating the leader of the Hamas movement and the head of its political bureau, the great national leader Ismail Haniyeh, to put the axis of resistance, head and limbs, before the reality of either dismantling the axis to isolate Gaza, or responding to its crimes that affected Iran's sovereignty and honor, and crossed Hezbollah's lines by targeting the southern suburbs of Beirut. In this sense, Iran has no choice but to respond, and not only according to the rules of a symbolic response to the attack on its consulate in Damascus, but perhaps by reaffirming the unity of the axis it leads by carrying out a coordinated strike with its limbs.

The question that will be answered in the next few hours is whether such a response will be followed by an Israeli response and to what degree? And will Washington be able to contain it or not? The nature of the strike, and the extent of Washington’s ability to rein in Netanyahu through direct American intervention to repel attacks by Tehran and the parties of the axis, will decide whether the region is heading towards a major or limited fire, and its raging flames can be controlled.

In any case, despite the centrality of the Palestinian cause and the war of extermination that the Strip is still suffering from, the dangers of the regional war have begun to overshadow what is happening in the Strip, especially in light of the absence of a unified Palestinian vision and a strategic plan capable of keeping the issue of stopping the war on the Strip, and confronting the war of annexation and settlement expansion in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, at the forefront of international attention, and investing in the important shifts in international public opinion, including the danger of a regional war, to develop these shifts into a comprehensive international consensus to end the occupation, enable the Palestinian people to determine their fate, embody their sovereignty over their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital on the 1967 borders, and find a just solution to the refugee issue by implementing Resolution 194 and the rules of international law related to it. It is obvious that the condition for achieving this lies only in leading a national unity that includes everyone under the umbrella of the PLO, and a transitional national consensus government for a period that enables it to rebuild the Strip and ensure the lifting of the siege on it, isolate Israel's expansionist plans to annex the West Bank, and prepare for comprehensive general elections for all Palestinian national institutions.

The last question is, what to do in the face of the lack of response to the popular will that has always called for this, the latest of which was the Beijing Declaration, the ink of which has not yet dried, until the parties that have an interest in the continuation of the reality of division began trying to undermine it. However, we have no choice but to besiege and isolate everyone who fuels the division because in reality he fuels Netanyahu’s plans and contributes to further sacrificing the unprecedented sacrifices of our people in all places where they are present, especially in the Gaza Strip.

Only Netanyahu and his fascist government gang want this war to continue, which explains Netanyahu’s continued manipulation of the possibility of reaching a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal, despite Biden’s announcement of what is known as his initiative, which he attributed to Israel.
