The current scenario paints a grim picture for the Netanyahu government, which not only fails to convince the Israeli public about the safe return of the hostages or winning this war but also faces international pressure in light of student protests spreading across universities in the US and other pro-Israeli Western states.Netanyahu claimed to have during a February meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Other analysts have a similar take to both Fan and Schweitzer, a realist Israeli veteran, who cares about both Palestinian human rights and the future of his state. “Hamas has not been destroyed politically or militarily, and Israeli security has not been this bad in a regional sense for a very long time,” Simons tells TRT World.Israel’s brutal conduct in Gaza has triggered wide-scale anti-Israeli protests across the globe from US Ivy League university campuses to Western Europe, with states like Colombia cutting ties with Tel Aviv. That is also something going against Israel’s long-term interests, according to analysts.
“The Gaza War has put Palestine on the global map. It has also shown Israel and its allies, US and Western political leaders, in a genocidal light that is at absolute odds with the supposed values of the rules based order to the Global South and even their own publics to some extent,” says Simons. “After paying such a heavy price, whether this global attention can be transformed into a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is more worthy of attention,” he says.The pending Rafah offensive is also something both Palestinians and the global audiences are concerned about. Israel has already bombed the area close to the Egypt border.
