The only guaranteed path for Israel after nearly nine months of its criminal war on the Gaza Strip, and the accompanying aggressive battles along the southern border of Lebanon, is to reduce the pace of the war there and wait for this to lead to a de-escalation in southern Lebanon so that the West Bank turns into the main battlefield for the war.
This is the only way that Israel believes will “preserve” the unity of the “government coalition” and continue the war on the Gaza Strip in what the White House calls the “third phase” leading to military control over the Gaza Strip without the deployment of ground forces in the inhabited areas. These forces have been stationed in Netzarim and the Philadelphia Corridor, as well as across the entire perimeter of the Strip and inside several kilometres deep into it along the Gaza envelope.
Through this control, the war on the Gaza Strip will continue with sudden aggressive raids on all the points that the occupying state sees as targets for its planes and artillery, strikes from the sea and the use of specialised brigades for limited and specific ground operations.
Thus, the war on the Gaza Strip will continue, and Israel can remain in control of the entry of aid, and in control of preventing the rebuilding of the Palestinian Resistance throughout the Gaza Strip, without exposing its forces to further exhaustion.
