The battle of Gaza was not decided by victory or defeat.

Despite the nearing of a new Palestinian-Israeli prisoner exchange deal, due to Egyptian-Qatari mediation, American pressure and desire, and the needs of both sides of the conflict: Hamas versus the colony, due to internal pressures on their decision-makers:

Hamas: 1- Its need to stop the liquidation, assassination and persecution of its military and political leaders, 2- The suffering of its people and its popular base that has endured the unbearable, and the inability of Arabic vocabulary to describe the suffering of the people of Gaza from: ethnic cleansing, genocide, human liquidation, making the Gaza Strip unfit for life, Nakba, tragedy, catastrophe, 3- Its need and desire to remain in the leadership position in the Palestinian political scene, and to remain the decision maker in the Gaza Strip towards confrontation or towards calm, or towards settlement and management.

The Israeli colony has: 1- Demonstrations and protests by the families of prisoners, which find solidarity and support from various segments, and are expanding to include other segments, even if they have not yet reached the point of creating a dangerous situation for the government’s survival and the continuity of its work. 2- Signed petitions announced by influential leaders, demanding an agreement to release prisoners, whatever the price, through a ceasefire and its procedural repercussions, especially by pilots, retired security chiefs, workers in the army’s medical health system, and other segments, indicating a shift from an issue related to the families of prisoners to a broader issue that includes: 1- The families of soldiers who were killed in the war, without political benefits. 2- The families of soldiers who have been in compulsory reserve service for a year and a half, and others.

The Israeli hesitation and lack of urgency that led to the decision not to agree to a ceasefire are due to:

1- Netanyahu's personal interest in prolonging the war because he has not achieved its goals so far, and is consolidating the preliminaries of his failure and failure, may lead to his defeat, and then the formation of an investigation committee that will end with his trial on the basis of "negligence." Therefore, he has been working and hoping since the beginning of the second phase of launching his reckless and insane war on 3/18/2025, in the hope of changing the picture and the results from a state of failure and failure to a state of success and victory.

2- The position of his allies, the leaders of the parties participating in the government, especially Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, is driven by extremist ideological motives, firstly to end any bet on Palestinian survival that would lead to a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. This explains the attack on the West Bank camps and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the war of killing and destruction in the Gaza Strip. It is also driven by motives to prevent the failure of the government coalition leading the battle, the results and repercussions of which will affect the parliamentary elections and their entitlements next year, 2026.

The results of the battle, the attack, and the confrontations did not decide one party's fate over the other. The failure and failure were the colonizer's, despite their reoccupation of the entire Gaza Strip. However, they were unable to locate the Israeli prisoners and release them without a prisoner exchange. They were also unable to end and eliminate the Palestinian resistance, despite the scale of the killing and assassination of important military and political leaders.

The resistance has held out so far, but it has been unable to deliver painful blows to the enemy that would force it to cease fire and withdraw from the Gaza Strip. This would mean its defeat and the victory of the resistance, and this has not yet been achieved.

Therefore, the political battle has not been resolved with victory or defeat for either side, because the confrontation and war on the ground and in the field have not yet settled their results and are still ongoing. This explains the intensity and ferocity of the Israeli attack, so that it does not end in the defeat of the enemy, which is still facing failure and setback.
