Israel assured the United States that its military operation on Rafah was “limited”Tuesday May 7. “We can be a little skeptical, since we know very well that Netanyahu declared that, whatever happened, this offensive would take place while Hamas accepted the truce last night”estimates Agnès Levallois, vice-president of the Institute of Mediterranean Middle East Research and Studies. “I fear it is a facade”estimates the guest.
“Extremely strong American pressure”
“We are faced with an equation with three unknowns: the first is military (…) the second is the hostages, and the third is the extremely complex humanitarian situation”, analyzes General Patrick Dutartre of the Air Force, former leader of the Patrouille de France. Negotiations are currently continuing in Cairo, and the Israelis have returned to the table. The Israeli government “must show that it is continuing the negotiations (…) we must not be responsible for stopping the negotiations, (…) American pressure must be extremely strong”according to Agnès Levallois.
