Israeli security deliberations and the challenges facing Israel
The security deliberations session held by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday, in which the Minister of Defense, the Chief of Staff, senior army commanders, and the head of the Shin Bet participated, addressed the security challenges facing Israel at this stage and ways to confront and prepare for them, especially in light of the protests that Israel is witnessing against so-called judicial reform.
It is known that these deliberations remain secret due to the decisions taken regarding them, which are considered confidential and cannot be published. Therefore, we note that Netanyahu did not invite Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, for fear of his leaking the information and decisions that were taken and discussed during this session. Although it was reported that these deliberations focused on the Iranian threat facing Israel, it is certain that the focus was also on the dangers posed by other fronts to the occupying state, including the southern fronts with Hezbollah and the northern fronts with Syria and its alliance with Iran, as well as the situation in the West Bank. Western and Gaza Strip.
The situation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, including Jerusalem, stands at the mouth of a volcano, capable of exploding at any moment, especially in light of the crimes committed by the occupying state, which have affected and continue to affect people, trees and stones, in addition to the violations and attacks committed by herds of settlers, the continuation of cancerous settlement, the confiscation of lands, and the establishment of... Settlement outposts and the legalization of many of them and other crimes and violations of human dignity at the military checkpoints spread throughout the West Bank.
It is not unlikely that Israel will launch an aggressive war to solve its internal crisis on the one hand, which is important for the current government, the most right-wing, extremist and racist in the history of the governments of the occupying state, in order to end the protests that are expanding day after day and week after week. Waging a war, whether limited or widespread and on several fronts, will not lead to ending the division in Israeli society, even if it may stop its repercussions until the end of this aggressive war.
In all cases and possibilities, if Israel embarks on an aggressive war, its losses will be double, especially since there is a strong possibility of unity in the battlefields of confrontation with the occupying state, to confront this aggressive war on all fronts, or at the very least to provide various aid to any front targeted by the state. Occupation in this war.
Therefore, Israel will think more than once about waging an aggressive war because its losses will be many times what it expects, and it will often content itself with what it is currently carrying out of attacks from time to time on Syria under the guise of targeting Iranian force positions, incursions and attacks in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and continuing the imposed siege. On the Gaza Strip, with increased work by Gazan workers working inside Palestine to prevent escalation from Gaza
