The next decisive battle in the Gaza Strip

Is there a crime that the colonial forces have not committed against the people of the Gaza Strip, such as: starving and preventing the entry of food supplies, preventing the supply of electricity and withholding water, cutting off roads to prevent civilians from moving from one area to another, forcing them to forcibly move to empty areas for the benefit of the occupation forces’ military activity, killing approximately fifty thousand people, and wounding, injuring and disabling many times that number, more than one hundred thousand innocent civilians.

At dawn on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, the occupation forces resumed their aerial, naval, and ground bombardment of civilian sites, neighborhoods, and homes, along with a limited, partial invasion of ground forces toward buffer zones that achieve the goals of oppressing the population, paralyzing life, and fragmenting the geography of the Gaza Strip, in order to facilitate the occupation forces’ program and plan against the Palestinian resistance and incite its popular base against it.

The negotiations, as agreed upon with the colonial government, in January 2025, were abandoned in their second phase, after the successful implementation of the first phase, despite the complications that accompanied it, forcing Netanyahu to agree to it and implement its gradual steps, but he refused to commit to negotiations to implement the second phase, aiming to "strip" the resistance of its most important and powerful card: the Israeli prisoners, without committing to the requirements of the gradual withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

America: The United States provided all the capabilities, means, and weapons to enable the colony to continue its brutal, brutal, and aggressive war against the Palestinian people to achieve the colony’s goals:

1- Eliminating and ending the Palestinian resistance, 2- Releasing Israeli prisoners without an exchange, 3- Reducing the number of Palestinian people, whether by killing or forcing them to leave Palestine and become displaced and homeless.

The mediators, quite clearly: Qatar and Egypt, cannot expose, lay bare, and disgrace the Israeli negotiator, because in doing so they would lose their role as mediators. They also lack any leverage, which is why they have refused to offer guarantees that what is agreed upon will be implemented, and because they are unable to enforce the implementation of any agreement that may be reached.

The Israeli attack began with killing and destruction at dawn on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. The Palestinian resistance has no choice but to stand firm, bear the consequences, and cling to the Israeli prisoners, the most important card in all confrontations between the two sides. The resistance factions do not have the ability to submit to surrender, give up their weapons, and hand over the Israeli prisoners without achieving gains through stopping the aggression, an Israeli withdrawal, and the release of Palestinian prisoners.

The Palestinians have held out for so long, but they have not yet won. The Israelis have failed, but they have not yet been defeated. Therefore, Tuesday's battle and the battles that follow will produce results that have not been achieved since October 8, 2023: no victory for any side, no decisive defeat for any other. Because of the Israeli failure and Netanyahu's personal, partisan, and official interests, he has worked to replace his political, military, and security leaders: 1- The Minister of Defense, 2- The Chief of Staff, 3- The Director of Intelligence. The first was replaced as the Minister of Defense, the second as the Chief of Staff, and the third has not yet been replaced. These changes were made regarding their military and field plans to implement the Netanyahu government's program after Ben Gvir was attached to it, which are: eliminating the resistance, releasing Israeli prisoners, reducing the Palestinian human presence through killing, and making the Gaza Strip unfit for life and pushing the Palestinians toward a forced or voluntary departure under pressure.

An open battle has been ongoing since Tuesday, March 18, 2025, extending what preceded it and what will follow, with strong American support for the colony and without any real, serious levers of support for the Palestinians.
