Global newspapers: Israel supports the thieves of Gaza and its police are a political tool for Ben Gvir.

Global newspapers and websites have addressed what they described as the worsening security chaos in the Gaza Strip, pointing to direct accusations against Israel for supporting groups that loot aid convoys, alongside the transformation of the Israeli police into a political tool under the influence of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

The Guardian quoted French historian Jean-Pierre Filiu as saying he witnessed compelling evidence of Israeli support for looting operations targeting relief convoys in the southern part of the strip, confirming that the scale of violations reflects a systematic policy that goes beyond mere war chaos.

According to his testimony, the Israeli army fired at Palestinian security personnel accompanying the convoys, considering them part of Gaza's police, and recounted an incident near the Mawasi area when a convoy of 66 trucks came under rapid gunfire that led to the disintegration of the protection.

Filiu noted that he saw from a nearby location Israeli drones providing cover for attackers he described as thieves who targeted local protection teams, while Israel denied this, but acknowledged supporting the 'Popular Forces' militia, which included elements accused of looting.

In a parallel context, Haaretz considered that the Israeli police have become a political tool in Ben Gvir's hands, pointing to a rise in crime and an increase in arbitrary arrests of non-violent protesters during his tenure, indicating a deterioration of public trust in the security institution.

The newspaper explained that the police use repressive means including monitoring protests, interrogating protest leaders, and conducting humiliating searches, noting that officers who violated the law were not held accountable, with some receiving only nominal penalties and potential promotions.

Haaretz confirmed that this shift has led the police to seek to gain Ben Gvir's approval, which has resulted - as it put it - in the loss of fundamental values related to protecting democracy and serving the public, amid rising fears of the politicization of security agencies.

Meanwhile, Yedioth Ahronoth addressed what it described as the urgent need to maintain the 'buffer zone' in the Gaza Strip, considering that its depth is a central factor in Israeli security, and should not be compromised even under pressure from the United States.

The newspaper viewed that Gaza has not changed and will not change in the near future, and therefore, a return to the original border line should not be on the table, as this could lead - as it expressed - to dangerous outcomes for national security.
