Special translations – Quds News: The Wall Street Journal, citing military analysts, said that the truce and ceasefire in the Gaza Strip gives Hamas time to prepare for a new phase of the war that may last for months, with the aim of reducing the momentum of the Israeli attack and creating international pressure to end the conflict without achieving its goals.
The American newspaper added, quoting the former head of research in the occupation’s military intelligence, Yossi Kuperwasser: “The most important thing at the present time for Hamas is to be able to gradually release its prisoners, and to turn “the whole idea of defeating Hamas into something that will never happen.” For his part, Taher Al-Nono, advisor to the head of the Hamas political bureau, said that Hamas is open to talks on extending the truce and ultimately wants a ceasefire, and the occupation does not have the right to decide who will control Gaza after the war.
The newspaper quoted participants in the prisoner exchange negotiations as saying that Muhammad Al-Sinwar sometimes did not respond to demands regarding prisoners, which stopped the process more than once, and he is the final decision-maker.
According to the newspaper, the ground aggression in the south of the Gaza Strip will be more difficult than in the north due to the presence of displaced Palestinians, which will increase international pressure on the occupation to stop the aggression, and it will be difficult to achieve victory there.
The journalist continued, citing military experts who said that the occupation will have to decide whether it will return all of its prisoners or face some kind of negotiations with Sinwar and Deif, and that “Netanyahu really hopes that he will be able to assassinate them before that happens, but in the end, it will not be.” “Israel is able to achieve the two goals of “destroying Hamas” and restoring all the prisoners together.”
