➡️Haaretz: Zvi Barel:

➡️The army's long experience in occupying populated areas will not benefit it now. Gaza in 2024 is different from Gaza in 1967, as the army destroyed all civilian infrastructure in the Strip.

➡️If "Israel" remains as the occupying power in the Gaza Strip, it cannot expect donor countries to agree to provide financial aid for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip if these funds are to be transferred through them.

➡️In 1967, then Army Minister Moshe Dayan used the “open bridges” policy, which began transporting agricultural goods from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to Jordan. It developed into an economic policy that supported the security calm... There is no “open bridge” in Gaza today.

➡️"Israel" has no alternative to the Hamas or Palestinian Authority, and has not succeeded in recruiting a local leadership that would accept cooperation with it.

➡️Without leadership to mediate between the population and the military government, and without local security agencies, army officers and soldiers will be forced to carry out police duties in the Strip and manage civil services.

➡️It is difficult to reconcile this scenario with the ceasefire agreement and the cessation of war according to the basic lines of the prisoner liberation agreement, at the end of which Israel is supposed to withdraw its forces from the Gaza Strip.

➡️Israel's presence in the Gaza Strip will not guarantee the security of the residents of the "Gaza envelope" settlements.

➡️The number of militants, the quantities of weapons in the Gaza Strip, the ability to produce bombs, and the incentives among residents to act against the occupation forces will lead to permanent bloody confrontations between the army and residents, fueled by violent confrontations in the West Bank.

➡️New organizations will emerge, even if they do not have the military capacity that Hamas has, and they will be able to act against the army. They will maintain a permanent violent front and create a permanent focus of threat that cannot guarantee the feeling of security that the residents of the enclave need.

➡️In such a situation: the element of deterrence on which the security strategy relied in confronting Hamas and Hezbollah will also have no meaning... A crushed population cannot be deterred, as they have nothing to lose.
