Truce deal ‘backtrack’ on Israel over troop withdrawal made ‘last minute’
Luciano Zaccara, from the Gulf Studies Center at Qatar University, says the one thing that US President Joe Biden has gotten right about Israel’s war on Gaza is the fact a military victory is not possible.
“He said that Israel needed to make a ceasefire deal to end the war and there’s only a political way to resolve this, not a military solution. This shows that even though Hamas is weakened it will never be absolutely eliminated,” said Zaccara.
He expressed surprise that the Netanyahu government accepted truce terms with a troop withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor – the 14km (8.7-mile) long strip of land representing the border area between Gaza and Egypt.
That agreement now appears to be in jeopardy with Israeli leaders indicating they won’t pull out of the border region.
“If Netanyahu keeps insisting the military presence is needed there, then the backtrack on the deal is not on the Hamas side, it’s the Israeli side that changed last minute,” Zaccara
