I-Israel inyathela umugqa omuhle phakathi kokulinganisa izidingo zamaGazan nesidingo sayo sokuqukatha i-Hamas- nokuhweba ngamasosha afile ngesikhathi esisodwa.

Kubikwa ukuthi uNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela wakwa-Israel u-Avigdor Liberman useqhubekisele phambili isiphakamiso sokusungulwa kwechweba eCyprus elizosetshenziswa ukuhlinzeka iGaza Strip ngosizo lwabantu. Lolu hlelo kukholakala ukuthi luhlanganisa ukwakhiwa kwedokodo elisha lemikhumbi ethwala impahla, okuzothi uma sehlisiwe, liqashwe ngeso lokhozi ngendlela engaziwa ngaphansi kwesandla sakwa-Israel ukuqinisekisa ukuthi azikho izikhali ezishushumbiselwa iHamas. Ngemuva kwalokho, izinhlinzeko zizothunyelwa endaweni ebiyelwe yasePalestine, okwamanje engaphansi kokuvinjwa okuhlangene kwe-Israel-Egypt.

Lesi sinyathelo, nokho, kuthiwa sinemibandela yokuthi i-Hamas ibuyisele kwa-Israel izidumbu zamasosha amabili e-IDF abulawa ngesikhathi sempi yango-2014, ngaphezu kwama-Israyeli amathathu aphilayo abethunjwe yiqembu lamaphekula elawelela eGaza ngokuthanda kwawo. Ngaphandle kwalokho, asikho isidingo sakwa-Israyeli sokuthi i-Hamas ikhiphe izikhali noma, okungenani, ihambisane nesinqumo eside sokuqeda ukudubula esibonakala sisetafuleni.

Ngokusobala, lolu hlelo kwaxoxwa ngalo—futhi kungenzeka lwavunywa—phakathi nemihlangano ngempelasonto phakathi kukaNdunankulu uBinyamin Netanyahu kanye nezithunywa zaseMelika uJared Kushner noJason Greenblatt, uhambo lwabo lwesifunda ngesonto eledlule oluya eSaudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan naseQatar lugxile kakhulu ekudambiseni umnotho waseGaza. usizi.

Sekuyiminyaka, abezombusazwe kanye nezokuvikela bakwa-Israel bephikisana ngokuthi bangasisingatha kanjani lesi simo eGaza, okuyikhaya labantu basePalestine ababalelwa ezigidini eziyi-1.8 abahlala ezindaweni ezingcolile. Kulandela izimpi ezintathu kule minyaka eyishumi eyedlule, le ndawo ibilokhu ishintshile yaba imfucumfucu futhi iyaqhubeka nokuhlupheka ngenxa yokuntuleka okukhulu kwamanzi nogesi futhi ayinazo izinhlelo zokukhucululwa kwendle ezanele.

Ngakho-ke, i-Israel ingene ngaphansi kwengcindezi ekhulayo yangaphakathi nangaphandle yokwenza, abanye bekhuthaza ukuthi ukwenza ngcono izimo zaseGaza kuzothuthukisa uzinzo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abanye bakholelwa ukuthi alukho usizo olungashintsha ngokuyisisekelo inqobo nje uma i-Hamas ibusa le ndawo ngesibhakela sensimbi futhi iqhubeka nokuphambukisa izinsiza zayo eziningi ekwakheni ingqalasizinda yezempi ngenhloso yokufeza umgomo wayo wokuphila. ukubhubhisa umbuso wamaJuda.

Phakathi kwemibono eyantanta esikhathini esidlule kubalwa uhlelo lukaNgqongqoshe Wezobunhloli NezokuThutha u-Israel Katz lokwakha isiqhingi sokwenziwa ngasogwini lwaseGaza esizoba nechweba, indawo yokuthwala impahla kanye nesikhumulo sezindiza; Isiphakamiso sePhini likaNgqongqoshe uMichael Oren sokwandisa indawo yokuwela i-Erez—okwamanje esetshenziswa kuphela njengendawo yokudlula abantu—ukudlulisa izinto ezidingekayo kule ndawo; kanye nendawo yezimboni ehlongozwayo ehlanganyelwe kaNgqongqoshe Wezokwakha Nezezindlu u-Yoav Galant endaweni ehlanganyelwe yomngcele.

Ngasohlangothini lwayo, i-IDF sekuyisikhathi eside incoma ukuthi kukhishwe izinkulungwane zezimvume kubantu baseGazan ukuze bakwazi ukusebenza kwa-Israel, kuyilapho uMdidiyeli Okhethekile Wenhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene uNickolay Mladenov ekhuthaze ingqalasizinda yokwakha eNhlonhlweni yaseSinayi ukuze kuthuthukiswe umnotho waseGaza.

Ngokuka-Yaacov Amidror, owayengumeluleki wezokuphepha kuzwelonke kuNdunankulu uNetanyahu kanye nosihlalo weNational Security Council yakwa-Israel, itheku laseCyprus—okuyinto, aphawule ukuthi, okungakavunyelwana nalo yiHamas—akulona isu lesikhathi eside kodwa, kunalokho , “isinyathelo sobuchwepheshe sokuqinisekisa ukuthi noma yikuphi ukungenisa eGaza kuqashwe u-Israyeli futhi ngeke kuhlanganise nezikhali; lokhu, ngenkathi sizama ukudambisa izimo zabantu baseGaza.”

U-Amidror, okwamanje oyilungu le-Washington-based Jewish Institute for National Security of America kanye no-Senior Fellow e-Jerusalem Institute for Security Studies, uphikisa ngokuthi iGaza ibeka isimo se-22 ku-Israel, okumele "ilinganise phakathi kwentando Hamas ukwakha amakhono ayo ezempi kanye nezidingo labantu. Futhi noma yini u-Israyeli ayenzayo ivinjelwe ngento yokuqala noma eyesibili.”

Nokho, “iGaza ebulawa indlala akuyona inketho engokoqobo,” ephetha, ngaphambi kokugcizelela ukuthi “okuwukuphela kwekhambi [elihlala njalo] ukususa iHamas.”

Brig. Gen. (res.) Udi Dekel, phambilini owayeyinhloko yethimba lezingxoxo lakwa-Israel ngesikhathi senqubo yokuthula yase-Annapolis ngaphansi kukandunankulu wangaleso sikhathi u-Ehud Olmert futhi njengamanje uMqondisi Ophethe kanye nozakwabo oCwaninga Omkhulu e-Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, uyavuma ukuthi ukwakha ichweba. e-Cyprus akuyona indlela yobufakazi bobuwula. “U-Israyeli uyazi ukuthi noma yikuphi ukuchuma okuhlobene eGaza kuyosetshenziswa i-Hamas, kungaba [ngokuqola izimpahla kanye] imali, ukukhokhisa intela, njll… Kodwa inkinga enkulu ukuthi u-Israyeli kufanele enze okuthile ukusiza abantu bakhona. Umuntu kufanele athuthukise izimo zabo [zokuphila] kuyilapho enciphisa umonakalo, futhi kuzoba khona okunye.

"Angiliboni ikhono lokuxazulula inkinga yeGaza esikhathini esizayo esiseduze ngaphansi kokubusa kweHamas njengoba iPalestinian Authority ingakwazi noma ingafuni ukuthatha izintambo," usho kanje echaza kwiMedia Line. “Kumele kube nesixazululo sezepolitiki kodwa lokhu akwenzeki ngenxa yoqhekeko lwangaphakathi lwasePalestine. Kuze kube yileso sikhathi, i-Israel kufanele yamukele iHamas njengeqembu elinomthwalo wemfanelo—hhayi elisemthethweni—eGaza futhi ilungele konke okungenzeka.”

Ukuthi umuntu ukholelwa ukuthi ichweba laseCyprus lizoba yisinyathelo sokuqala sokubuyisela emuva isimo esidabukisayo saseGaza noma umane anikeze iHamas "isikhathi esibolekiwe" kuze kube yilapho u-Israyeli ephoqeleka ukuthi asuse ubushiqela bakhe ikakhulukazi kuncike ekutheni umuntu uluphendula kanjani uchungechunge lwezindaba. imibuzo ehlobene.

Okokuqala, ingabe u-Israyeli angakwazi ukwenza ngcono izimo zaseGaza ngaphandle kokuqinisa iHamas ngezinga elingangokuthi libe yisitha esiyingozi kakhulu? Lokhu, ngenxa yokunciphisa izingcindezi zomphakathi nezomnotho i-Hamas ebhekene nazo njengenhlangano ebusayo ye-quasi-state empofu futhi, ngokucatshangwayo, ngokuvumela iqembu lamaphekula ukuthi lisebenzise noma yikuphi "ukuvulwa" ukuze lishushumbise izikhali ezengeziwe endaweni evalelwe.

Uma kungenjalo, kungenzeka ukuthi i-Israel ilandela indlela yodlame oluphindelelayo.

Okubaluleke kakhulu-ke, ingabe noma yiluphi uhlelo, kuhlanganise nalolo okuxoxwa ngalo njengamanje, lungaletha impumuzo eGaza ngaphandle kokufaka izinguquko zombuso womgomo; okungukuthi, ukuhoxiswa kombuso ongokwasezulwini obulala abantu abaningi abaphikisana nawo kuyimbangela eyinhloko yezinkinga zezakhamuzi?

Uma kungenjalo, lokhu kuphakamisa ukuthi i-Israel ingase iphinde ilandele inqubomgomo ye-Band-aid engeke ivimbele umlando ukuthi ungaziphindaphindi.

Okokugcina, ingabe “inkolelo-mbono” ephethwe kabanzi yokuthi labo abanokulahlekelwa okuthile kungenzeka balinganisele indlela abaziphatha ngayo iyasebenza kwabaseGazan? Ingabe ukuphila kwabo kufanele ngempela kuthuthukiswe ngosizo luka-Israyeli, ingabe bayokwazi ukulahla inzondo enonya emelene namaJuda abaye bafundiswa ngayo futhi baziguqule babe omakhelwane abaphilayo?

Uma kunjalo, lokhu kubonakala kuzodinga uhlobo oluthile lokwenqaba okudumile kwezimiso eziyisisekelo ze-Hamas, okungase kuholele ekuweni kwayo. Lesi siphetho sizokwenza ukuthi imibuzo yokuqala emibili ibe yimpumelelo futhi, empeleni, kube okufiselekayo kwa-Israyeli, noma mhlawumbe kungenzeki, umdlalo wokugcina.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

Amidror, currently a member of the Washington-based Jewish Institute for National Security of America and a Senior Fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Security Studies, contends that Gaza poses a catch-22 situation for Israel, which “has to balance between the will of Hamas to build its military capabilities and the requirements of the population.
On the flip side, others maintain that no amount of aid can fundamentally change the dynamic so long as Hamas rules the territory with an iron fist and continues to divert most of its resources towards building up military infrastructure with a view to actualizing its ideological goal of destroying the Jewish state.
According to Yaacov Amidror, a former national security advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu and chairman of Israel’s National Security Council, the Cyprus port—which, he noted, has not yet been agreed to by Hamas—is not a long-term strategy but, rather, “a technical measure to ensure that any imports into Gaza are monitored by Israel and will not include weapons.
