New Round of Zionist Aggression on Gaza
The Israeli enemy has resumed its aggression against Gaza with brutal aggression, targeting civilians and the Palestinian resistance with even more ruthless tactics. This latest offensive is intended to break the resistance but faces several military and political obstacles. Despite the relentless bombing and destruction, the resistance remains steadfast, proving the occupation’s repeated failure to achieve its objectives.
Criminal Netanyahu seeks to escape his growing internal crises, appease the far-right, and tighten his grip on the military establishment. The United States has given the Israeli occupation the green light for this aggression. However, this offensive might also serve as Israeli pressure on Washington, particularly after U.S. President Joe Biden sent a message to Iran’s Supreme Leader proposing new nuclear negotiations—an initiative that Tehran has categorically rejected under pressure. Netanyahu, in turn, may be attempting to derail this diplomatic track. Regardless, this scenario aligns with America’s ongoing commitment to backing the Zionist entity, as pledged by both the Biden and Trump administrations.
Netanyahu’s Political Maneuvers Amid War
Netanyahu is leveraging the war to reinstate “Itamar Ben Gvir” in the “government” and secure the approval of the budget. Additionally, the war serves as a means to distract from his “government’s” internal crises and the growing instability within his ruling coalition, especially amid intensifying opposition criticism.
The so-called “Forum of Hostage Families” strongly opposes the war’s continuation, accusing Netanyahu of sacrificing captives for political gains. Zionist media reports indicate a declining “legitimacy” for the war, particularly as it drags on without results and casualties continue to mount. Meanwhile, the opposition is increasing pressure to halt the war and restart negotiations with Hamas.
In the occupied territories, settler protests erupted on Wednesday against the government’s failure to retrieve captives. However, Zionist security forces violently suppressed these demonstrations. As political unrest grows, Netanyahu’s government is weakening, particularly following recent revelations in the ongoing Zionist investigation into their military failure on October 7, 2023.
The Reality of the Latest Zionist War on Gaza
The Zionist occupation forces launched its latest assault with hundreds of air, naval, and artillery strikes, devastating vast areas of Gaza. Zionist officials claim the attacks targeted Hamas military and political leaders, weapons caches, and resistance infrastructure. However, independent media reports expose the large-scale massacres inflicted upon civilians.
Israeli forces have also issued threats of a ground invasion if Hamas does not release captives, raising concerns about a new phase of escalation and potential territorial incursions.
Meanwhile, Hamas has announced that it still possesses unused missile stockpiles, reaffirming that its military capabilities remain intact. Despite the relentless bombardment, there is no evidence of the resistance’s military collapse. Before the previous ceasefire took effect in late January, Palestinian resistance operations had intensified, with missiles striking Israeli settlements near Gaza and fierce confrontations inflicting daily losses on Zionist forces.
The War and the Witkoff Proposal
The Zionist assault resumed even as the United States introduced a new ceasefire proposal. American envoy Steve Witkoff presented the initiative, and Hamas responded positively, demonstrating a shift from its previous outright rejection of any alternatives to the second phase of the ceasefire.
Despite this diplomatic development, the Israeli enemy escalated its aggression, with Hamas accusing the Zionist regime of reneging on the ceasefire agreement by refusing to enter the second phase of negotiations, closing border crossings, and tightening the blockade. These actions signal Israel’s intent to return to full-scale war, rather than simply continuing its routine airstrikes on Syria and Lebanon.
In this tense political climate, the Zionist enemy launched the so-called “Dignity and the Sword” operation on Monday night, carrying out intensive air, ground, and naval attacks across Gaza. The Zionist forces claim its strikes are targeting “key military leaders and infrastructure.”
The decision to resume the war was made directly by Criminal Netanyahu, with backing from Zionist political and military leaders. The Zionist forces spokesperson confirmed the operation was carried out under political directives.
According to “The Wall Street Journal”, the United States granted the Israeli entity explicit approval to restart the attacks. This decision aligns with broader U.S. military escalations in the region, including recent airstrikes on Yemen.
Zionist Objectives for the War
Zionist leaders have outlined several “objectives” for this aggression, including:
- The “liberation” of all Zionist captives held by the resistance.
- The destruction of Hamas to eliminate any future threats to Israeli Occupation.
- Altering the “rules of engagement” with Palestinian resistance, as declared by Zionist “Defense Minister” Gallant, who vowed to “open the gates of hell” against Hamas.
- Strengthening Zionist control over Gaza to prevent it from becoming a persistent threat, suggesting prolonged aggression.
Zionist political and media rhetoric has also revived discussions on the forced displacement of Gaza’s population. Some Zionist outlets are proposing alternatives to Egypt and Jordan, suggesting Sudan, Somalia, and Syria as potential destinations. However, the Zionist entity’s primary strategy remains the displacement of Palestinians into Sinai and Jordan’s eastern territories.
Egypt has firmly rejected this project, causing rising tensions between Cairo and “Tel Aviv”.
Netanyahu’s Internal Objectives
Netanyahu faces mounting political, economic, and security crises, and this war serves several internal purposes:
- Deflecting Political Crises: By continuing the war, Netanyahu delays accountability for corruption investigations and evades opposition scrutiny.
- Maintaining His Fragile Coalition: Netanyahu is relying on far-right allies, including Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, to secure the state budget and prolong his rule.
- Suppressing Military Dissent: the Zionist forces have recently experienced internal divisions and opposition to Netanyahu’s leadership. He is now seeking to assert control over the army, enforcing stricter anti-desertion policies and silencing internal criticism within military ranks.
The Enemy’s Internal Front
Unlike the initial phase of the Zionist war—when national unity prevailed following the October 7 al-Aqsa Flood operation—the internal Zionist front is now deeply fractured.
Netanyahu’s government is witnessing a significant drop in popularity due to widespread public frustration over the war’s failure to achieve concrete military objectives, particularly regarding the return of captives.
The “Hostage Families Forum” has condemned Netanyahu’s government, accusing it of recklessly endangering captives by prolonging the war.
Additionally, the Zionist Forces are struggling to mobilize reservists. Recent reports in Zionist media reveal that only 60% to 80% of reservists are responding to mobilization orders—a sharp decline compared to the war’s initial phase.
Military refusals are on the rise, with prominent cases like Alon Gur, who publicly refused to serve, accusing the government of deception in its war objectives.
There is growing dissent among Zionist soldiers and officers, with some openly opposing the government’s policies. The Zionist forces also face a shortage of recruits, forcing the government to pressure ultra-Orthodox “Haredim” Jews into military service.
Politically, the Israeli opposition accuses Netanyahu of exploiting the war for personal gains, particularly regarding budget negotiations and the reinstatement of Ben Gvir.
The Future of the War
Based on the current situation, several potential scenarios could shape the war’s trajectory.
The most likely outcome is the continuation of escalating military aggression, as there is insufficient external pressure to force the Zionist enemy into a ceasefire. Netanyahu is using the war for political survival, aligning with Trump’s aggressive regional policies.
However, if the Palestinian resistance escalates unexpectedly, or if diplomatic intervention intensifies, the Zionist enemy may be forced to reconsider its position. Additionally, growing dissent within the Zionist forces, mounting settler protests, and the increasing impact of Yemeni military support for Gaza could significantly alter the war’s course.
