What's behind Netanyahu's miserable speech?
With the continued bleeding of dignity and honor, and the war of pride that bleeding Gaza is confronting, and amidst the massacres of genocide committed by Israel and its criminal army, the language of diplomacy emerges in an attempt to beautify the Israeli aggression, by proposing initiatives and deals that Israel rejects time and time again, to prove to the world that it is a stumbling block on the path to ending the war, whether in the south or the north (Gaza and Lebanon), and all of that was clear in Netanyahu’s miserable statements that he repeated yesterday, using as usual his no’s and claims that have become like a broken record, that the Israeli street has grown tired of listening to for more than a year.
What did Netanyahu say? And what lies behind his miserable speech, as he repeats from every platform that the efforts to return the kidnapped soldiers have not stopped even for a moment, claiming that Hamas is the obstacle to completing an exchange deal, and that it rejects negotiations, in response to the recommendations of the senior leaders of his security apparatus from the Shin Bet, Mossad and the General Staff, that Israel must show flexibility if it wants to reach an exchange deal?
Netanyahu said (No to Hamas, no to the Palestinian Authority, no to ending the war, no to withdrawing the army from Gaza, no to a swap deal, and no to the United States, which threatened to stop supplying us with weapons if we entered Rafah), and he says: We entered it without looking back.
Netanyahu's renewed voice against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran was not a coincidence, but rather the real motives behind this Israeli war, which seeks to establish a new status quo in the Middle East with American support, under the pretext of eliminating the resistance, activists and the Iranian axis of evil, as Netanyahu claims.
The most eloquent responses to Netanyahu came from within Israel. Opposition leader Yair Lapid is the one who set the record straight and crossed the i’s when he declared last night that the prime minister does not believe in his supreme duty to return the kidnapped soldiers, and that he is not prepared to sacrifice government seats for their return. He explained that Netanyahu is not worthy of the trust of the Israelis, and that he supports the clown Ben Gvir on electronic platforms, concluding that Netanyahu does not want a deal for political reasons.
Netanyahu's goals are becoming clearer day after day, as he lays out justifications to continue the aggression on the Gaza Strip. It seems that his recent threats against the leadership of Gaza and its replacement provide more justifications for committing massacres, as these statements give his army the green light to continue the war and aggression, according to what Netanyahu announced from the platform of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, when he said that the war will not end, that the army will not withdraw, and that it will continue to control the main axes in the Gaza Strip. He is also seeking to scatter the papers of the imminent agreement with Lebanon through new conditions that he has set, including freedom of military action for Israel in Lebanon, and monitoring the Syrian-Lebanese border. He realizes that Hezbollah will reject these conditions, and all of this is because Netanyahu and his right-wing clique are seeking to prolong the war.
Netanyahu did not achieve the goals he announced at the beginning of the war, and hence he repeatedly appears to blame Hamas and the resistance, trying to direct his speech that appears miserable, but the Israeli street, which no longer needs additional evidence, is well aware that Netanyahu is the first and last person responsible for obstructing all efforts and endeavors aimed at reaching agreements, and that the war will continue without achieving the goal of returning the detainees, because that is not considered a basic goal for Netanyahu, who considers that his highest goals are to remain in his position and maintain the existence of the ruling far-right coalition, in order to continue the war of revenge against the Palestinian people.
