According to Israeli commentator Hillel Fuld, "Hamas is leaning toward accepting the deal and will submit its official answer tomorrow. Why is Hamas even considering this deal when it’s infinitely worse for them than the deals they rejected in the past? Why is Qatar pushing so hard to get this deal done? . .The Israeli attack was a breaking point for them and they’ll do anything to prevent another such attack.
They’re happy sitting in their little paradise throwing billions around, but when the war hits their soil, they show their true colors.
Why are the Arab states pushing so hard? Because if Hamas says no, Israel takes over the entire strip.
Israel now controls 80% of Gaza and the IDF is facing little to no resistance, which means that to get from 80% to 100% would take weeks.
If Hamas says no, Israel takes the entire strip, and it’s game over for Gaza and for the possibility of a good life for Gazans.
If Hamas says no, Israel achieves indisputable military victory and that means that Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Yemen, Iran, and Lebanon are put to shame, not to mention Egypt, which is a whole other drama.
Israel will have achieved perhaps the most magnificent military victory of the century. Israel will have created a new Middle East with no one doubting who the new sheriff is in town.
The Arab world can’t have any of that.
In other words, a combination of the IDF military pressure, the “Failed” attack in Qatar (It’s not too crazy to think that Israel “Failed” on purpose. Maybe the goal was to send a message, which it did.), and the absolutely genius chess move here by Trump and Netanyahu have brought a new reality. . .
Let’s not forget what Israel’s objectives were.
- Bring hostages back ✅
- Remove Hamas as a threat: ✅
- Demilitarize Gaza: ✅
- Maintain security control: ✅
- A security perimeter: ✅
- Gaza is no longer ruled by Hamas OR the PA: ✅
In other words, while everyone was playing checkers, Netanyahu was, once again, playing chess.
Let’s see what happens next, but what matters right now is that last night’s press conference has the potential to not only end the war. It also has the potential to hand Israel a decisive victory. . . .
Now we wait…"
