During his seventh mission to the Middle East, Antony Blinken, representative of American diplomacy, is trying to maintain pressure on Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement.
On Monday April 29, Antony Blinken called on Hamas to accept Israel’s latest truce proposal, which includes a 40-day ceasefire. “We are at a turning point on both camps. If Hamas refused, it means that it is not very interested in today’s reality, which is catastrophic“, analyzes Jean-Paul Chagnollaud, political scientist and president of IREMMO. On the Israeli side, “This is a situation that greatly embarrasses Netanyahu. He would prefer to continue this war which is hopeless“, he adds.
Possible elections in Israel?
For Jean-Paul Chagnollaud, “what is important is that this affair stops and that there is a ceasefire. What would be terrible is for a man’s political destiny to weigh on a question of historical order.” According to a poll published in the Israeli press, 62% of Israelis are calling for new elections. “If the 40-day ceasefire is followed by another moment of appeasement, we could envisage a moment of elections. believes Jean-Paul Chagnollaud. But “what happened with Iran [a remis Netanyahou] in the saddle for a while”he adds.
