TEL AVIV – Take your time until November and try to keep your balance until the vote in the United States. If there is a succinct definition of Benjamin Netanyahu’s strategy, it is at this stage. Wait and see The best ace in the magician’s sleeve. And on the domestic level, the Israeli prime minister now has the advantage. The Knesset officially entered its recess until October 27.Despite opposition from opposition parties, as well as the hostages’ relatives, the three-month work stoppage is a sensitive period. If much of the daily parliamentary activity is to continue, including a bill for mandatory military service for ultra-Orthodox students, a highly contentious issue that risks unbalancing the government due to pressure from the far right, However, public sessions are suspended unless called to order by the government.. Less hassle for an already shaken executive.
On the military level – a plan that at this stage clearly risks affecting the success of the sleight of hand much more than it does the internal political balance – The most pressing issue is what response should be given to Hezbollah. After the raid on the Druze community and the killing of 12 children, while avoiding the frightening escalation at home and abroad, led by the United States. The War Cabinet reiterated the Prime Minister’s announcement: There will be an answer.But what it will be, and whether it will even include a partial invasion of southern Lebanon, has yet to be written. Opening a second ground front, according to many observers, is unlikely and suits no one, including Hezbollah and Iran. But – it will happen – There may be parties interested in escalating the conflict instead. In war, missiles and drones can easily get out of control. After Bibi delayed sending the negotiating delegation to Doha at the end of his trip to the United States, negotiations resumed with Mossad Director David Barnea’s Mission Who delivered the message to Rome with the Israeli government’s red lines.
In addition to preventing the movement of armed fighters in northern Gaza. The demands include Israeli supervision of the Philadelphi Corridor.And the Rafah crossing to prevent the smuggling of weapons across that border. These are points that Hamas immediately returned to accusing Israel of waiting, criticisms that it also shared. And the hostages’ relatives accuse the government of not making the return of their loved ones home a priority.. Is everyone still there until November? Even Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar says it is better to wait than to immediately go ahead with the deal, because if there is a possibility of dragging Israel into a regional war involving the direct involvement of Hezbollah and the indirect involvement of Iran, from his point of view it is an advantage. So it remains to be seen whether this sleight of hand will work in the Israeli prime minister’s favor. It certainly does not depend only on the “magician.”
