"Israeli" writer: A complete occupation of Gaza is a decision that Hamas does not fear and will increase our isolation.

The Israeli writer and journalist Ben Dror Yemini stated that there is no need for illusions about the impact of Israeli threats on Hamas's position, noting that these threats will not lead to any real change. He explained that the threat of seizing Gaza does not represent anything real, questioning the nature of the threats: are they the destruction of buildings or the displacement of populations?

In an article, Ben Dror pointed out that Hamas agreed to a prisoner exchange proposal, warning that Israel would fall into a trap if it rejected this deal. He emphasized that the rejection would have dire consequences for Israel, leading to a greater collapse in its international standing.

The writer also noted that the mere threat of occupying Gaza has already led to increasing calls for sanctions against Israel. He highlighted that a military entry into Gaza would cause a much greater collapse, resulting in further academic and cultural boycotts.

Ben Dror spoke about the leaked audio recordings of former intelligence chief Aharon Haliva, who said that having 50,000 dead in Gaza is necessary for future generations. He affirmed that this kind of thinking reflects a profound misunderstanding of the fundamental logic of the Hamas movement.

The writer pointed out that Hamas does not tremble from threats, and its strategy is to defeat Israel politically rather than militarily. He considered that the Israeli political situation has never been worse, and there is no other way out of this crisis.

Ben Dror questioned how much Israel relies on the misconception, indicating that Israel should have adopted a wiser strategy, such as declaring a unilateral ceasefire while demanding the release of hostages and disarming the sector.

In conclusion, he affirmed that this initiative could grant Israel some legitimacy and help avoid political collapse, rather than continuing with an aggressive policy that will only exacerbate the situation.
