Enabled by Western assistance, largely through arms sales and security advice, Israel ’s military operations across Gaza , Lebanon , Syria and Yemen have drawn worldwide condemnation for their adverse humanitarian impact and extensive destruction, writes Dr Reneva Fourie .With a staggering Palestinian death toll exceeding 46,000 and injuries well above one hundred thousand, the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Palestine announced on January 15 is welcome.
A ceasefire could have been reached long ago if it had not been for the arrogance of Netanyahu and the plethora of weapons supplied, especially by the USA. Netanyahu rejected all previous efforts to secure a ceasefire agreement and is delaying the implementation of the current one. Yoav Gallant, the chief architect of the 15-month war, indicated at the time of his ousting that the army had achieved all its objectives in Gaza.
The ceasefire agreement is occurring without any of Israel’s major aims for its post-7 October aggression against the Palestinians being achieved. Hamas has not collapsed. On the contrary, the Palestinian resistance keeps rising from the ashes to fight back. Since the launch of the most recent military operation in northern Gaza, 55 Israeli officers and soldiers have perished in this sector.
