As an Israeli government Stalls of the transaction to terminate the fire of gas He agreed between him and the Palestinian group Hamas, delaying the progression to the second phase of the agreement, protesters gathered outside the residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday night.
Yes, they were angry with his decision unilaterally to extend the phase of the first of the deal and was disappointed with his delay in the full application of the agreement, mediated in January.
But their banners and slogans had no references to the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza after Israel blocked the entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave on Sunday.
Instead, the focus was on Israeli captives Left in the gas as Netanyahu drags his legs, seemingly focusing on finding a way to avoid ending war.
The actions of the Israeli government on Sunday seem to indicate in the direction of ending the cessation of fire and the resumption of the overall war of gas, even when the captives remain there.
Although the first phase of fire termination expired on Saturday, the agreement provided that the terms of the armistice – including the flow of humanitarian aid in Gaza – will continue until the second phase negotiations continue.
However, Israel announced on Sunday the appearance of a “Vitcof Plan” – referring to the Middle East of the United States, Steve Vikof – who will see half of the captives released immediately and the other half after an agreement to end the fire, essentially discarding the initial transaction to end the fire.
Israel uses the possibility of the deal – which neither the United States nor Vikof confirmed the existence of – to restore its gas blockade by sending the prices of foods that increase there.
The Children's Fund of the United Nations (UNICEF) warned that the blockade of aid has “devastating consequences” for children and families in Gaza, battered by a 16 -month war.
Collective punishment is forbidden according to the Geneva Conventions, said Professor Gerry Simpson of the London School of Economics, Al Jazee told, regardless of who he was applying.
“The fact that he has expressed himself as a form of punishment implies some disregard for the laws of war, but this neglect does not make these laws null and void,” he said.
In addition to stopping assistance, the Israeli government is also considering approval of a bill that would allow it to call 400,000 of its reserve soldiers in anticipation of a renewed conflict in Gaza.
After the attack on October 7, 2023, 300,000 reserve soldiers were called against Israel, the largest mobilization in Israel's history at the time.
Angry families
While the Israeli public anger towards Netanyahu because of the current breakdown of negotiations is not yet widespread, a former ambassador and general -Consul of Israel to New York Alon Pinas told Al Jazeev that he was likely to grow up until he was “clear that he (Netanyahu) was striving to
The fate of 251 or more captives taken in prison during the October 7th attack represented a line in the Israeli public criticism of its Prime Minister.
However, in recent weeks – where images of captives returning to their families dominate the media – in turn increase the voices of their families, who are often critical of Netanyahu.
Those who protested outside the residence of Netanyahu on Sunday night, led by captive families, made it clear that they believe that the Prime Minister was guilty of the implementation of the fire termination agreement.
At a press conference conducted by a number of captive families earlier the same day, deprive Mira Mirava, whose husband Omri Mira remains in Gaza, rejected the allegations of some Israeli cabinet members, including Netanyahu, that an agreement is not possible, while Hamas remains an existence, telling reporters, “healed.
“Netanyahu knows that there is no monopoly on the story at the moment,” said Israeli political analyst, Ory Goldberg, “so there is a risk that this delay will be under increased fire from the families of hostages who have many public sympathies.”
Goldberg suggested that, among other factors, tied directly to Netanyahu's political survival, it can limit how long the current impasse can last.
Unscrupulousness
Skepticism on Netanyahu's commitment to the fire termination agreement is not new. Since its creation, the Prime Minister has hinted at his desire to break the agreement to put his critics, while using the existence of cessation of fire to reassure the senior families of captives and their supporters.
In January, Netanyahu gave a sign of his intention to break the agreement in negotiations with his hard -line Finance Minister the Hazalle Smith in order to remain in the office and not join his fellow far -right minister Itar Ben Guir, resigning for his post due to the prospect of achieving a bargain for a bargain to reach a bargain for a bargain for a stop for
As part of his troop deal, Netanyahu reported that he had assured that the finance minister, that the termination of fire was temporary and that the military operations in Gaza would be resumed, aimed at disassembling the military and managing capabilities of Hamas after the “temporary” reconciliation ended.
The negotiations for a constant termination of the fire had to be included in the second stage.
“People don't really trust Netanyahu,” said the Nimrod flashberg analyst by Tel Aviv. “Many of the public doubted that the cessation of the fire would stay from the beginning, but we really do not know what will happen afterwards. Many depends on the Trump administration (US President Donald). “
For many observers, from the delay of progression to the second stage of the fire termination deal to the ambiguity, which suggests that suspending it is typical of a Prime Minister who has benefited from sowing confusion among his critics for years.
“That's what he does,” Goldberg said. “This is what everyone in Israel is expecting him. There is no reason for this. He has no political rivals; He has the settlers from the (his) country. That's what he does. “
“For Netanyahu, these Byzantine schemes are essential to maintaining the Israeli state ship on a course,” he said.
“What kind of public critic is Netanyahu has, is not on the grounds that he refuses help or block the negotiations, but that he does it badly: he sells it wrong,” Goldberg said. “They think that if they had anyone else, they could reduce the help of gas and win applause for it.”
