“Benjamin Netanyahu is sailing by sight”, assures a Middle East specialist

Despite several weeks of discussions, no truce between Israel and Hamas has been achieved. The population of Gaza faces starvation due to the Israeli blockade. The truce demanded by the United States is still not in place. “We have always had difficulty analyzing Benjamin Netanyahu’s strategy”explains Sébastien Boussois, doctor in political science, specialist in the Middle East and Euro-Arab relations. “We can clearly see that since the start of the war, he has been navigating with several objectives. The main one was to definitively eradicate Hamas. The specialists agreed on the fact that it was almost impossible at the very least. to overcome it or even its ideology.”

“Taken by his coalition”

According to Hamas, the conflict has already left more than 31,000 dead, mostly civilians. “I believe that Benjamin Netanyahu has demonstrated the limits of his intervention for months. On the one hand, the extraordinarily high number of civilian deaths on the Palestinian side and then the impossibility of overcoming all of the thinking heads of Hamas. Benjamin Netanyahu has no choice but to go through with it because he is cornered by his coalition.”specifies the specialist.
