The expert on new deadly attacks in Gaza • Theory: Therefore, Israel broke the ceasefire
Israel broke the ceasefire and bombed Gaza last night.
Hundreds of people were killed in the attack and the Middle East expert Anders Persson believes this is a major setback for Donald Trump.
– – After all, he has sanctioned these Israeli bombings, he says.
During the night until Tuesday, Israel interrupted the ceasefire and bombed Gaza. Over 400 people are said to have been killed in the attack and according to the Hamas terrorist organization, Essam al-Dalis, the leader of the Hamas government in Gaza, was killed.
The Middle Eastern expert Anders Persson believes that there are a couple of big questions to keep track of in the future.
– The first is whether this is an individual attack on the side of Israel or if it is a return to a full -scale war. The second question to keep an eye on is what Trump has given green light for. After all, he has sanctioned these Israeli bombings during the night and morning. Is he interested in a return to a full -scale war in Gaza? Or what does he really want?, He says in News Morning.
Backlash for Donald Trump
Many were also injured in the attack and according to the Civil Defense Authority, which is controlled by terrorist -stamped Hamas, many of the wounded women, children and the elderly are. During the night, Prime Minister Netanyahus announced that from now on they will act against Hamas with increasing military force.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump gave green light for the bombings and was consulted by Israel. But it is still unclear what the American president wants to say Anders Persson.
– Trump has been very active and made statements about Gaza almost every day since he took office. A little less lately, but this is a major setback for Trump’s diplomatic effort to get a continued ceasefire, hostage and prison exchange. I think he will receive a lot of criticism for not being able to maintain this, he says.
Theory: Therefore bombed Israel
What happens to the host now?
– It does not look like negotiations will be achieved at this time. It can be a way from Israel to try to push Hamas into concessions and to be more accommodating. Whether they will succeed or not remain to be seen.
The ceasefire began on January 19, but thus seems to be over now with the bombings. But the exact background to Israel’s actions is still unclear.
– I think Israel made the calculation that you could not get rid of more from a hostage to a exact one you were afraid to pay and that you therefore returned to try to push Hamas militarily. It can also be a way for Netanyahu to keep his government together internally and that he can earn from this, a continued resumption of the bombings of Gaza, says Anders Persson.
