At last, after 15 months of brutal war, Israeli state agreed on a ceasefire without achieving the goals declared at the beginning of the war: destroying Hamas, liberating Israeli prisoners in Gaza and securing to the settlers a safe return to the settlements in the Gaza periphery.
Last night, after 467 days of cruel war, Netanyahu agreed to strike a deal with Hamas that guarantees the release of Israeli prisoners.
This point explodes Netanyahu’s goal as he had pledged to eradicate Hamas but, in the end he found himself striking a deal with it.
The release of Israeli prisoners is also based on Hamas demands of the release of Palestinian prisoners, including those who have been in prison for decades and are convicted for life terms. .
In addition to Netanyahu’s failure to achieve his goals, made Israel a state that has become synonymous of who has perpetuated immoral crimes against the Palestinian people reported from hundreds of thousands demonstrators in the largest Western and American cities.
This public denunciation has only served to create pressure on financial and academic institutions have cut or promised to cut their relations with Israel.
So, at this point, beside of the number of deaths, wounded and the large scale destruction, who won the war? Well, they say that the indications of victory are measured by the scale of sacrifices.
One of the point of the ceasefire deal requires 600 truckloads of aid to be allowed into Gaza every day of the initial six-week ceasefire.
For more than a year, the UN has warned that famine looms over Gaza.
“If the deal doesn’t provide any plan on security arrangements, it will be very difficult to surge assistance,” said an UN official, adding that there would also be a risk that law and order would further deteriorate in the short term.
It is very important at this stage to restore public order and safety in the Palestinian Territory so aid can be delivered.
If this does not happen in a very short time, well, would have truly ALL LOST.
