Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the go-ahead to the IDF for a final ground operation to destroy the last Hamas staging area, Rafah. In other words, when the Hamas elements here are eliminated, then there will be only a few Hamas leaders in the world who are hiding abroad.
At such a time, Khalil Haya, one of the leaders of Hamas, finally relented, and he told foreign reporters that the Hamas organization is willing to reach a peace agreement with Israel, and Hamas can lay down its arms and transform from an extremist organization to a political party, and the only condition is to implement the two-state solution.
Israel refused, and it was this refusal that made some netizens who support Israel puzzled and even angry.
In fact, this kind of rejection is easy to understand, and the simplest logic is that "people cannot use 'admitting mistakes' as a reason to avoid punishment." ”
Why did Hamas suddenly "capitulate"?
Because no country has succeeded in dissuading Israel, their determination to eliminate Hamas is so strong that they have really cleared it inch by inch from the north of Gaza, and they will not stop until the city of Rafah is really going to wipe out Hamas completely. Seeing that the situation was critical and imminent, he surrendered and survived.
This is like a criminal organization committing a crime, seeing the incident in the east window, the police surrounded the warehouse where they were last hiding, and then the leader of the criminal organization jumped out to "negotiate": let us go free, we will surrender.
Should the police agree? It's a question that doesn't have to be thought about at all. Israel's response was along the lines of this: after the sudden attack and massacre of Israelis by Hamas on 7 October, the organization must bear the price, and Israel will not allow the same thing to happen again.
Therefore, since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas, their goal has always been to "completely eliminate Hamas" and "Hamas must pay the price for its actions".
In addition, the promises of a group of hooligans have no effect. In this world, only agreements signed by countries that abide by the spirit of the contract are valid. Hamas is like a rat digging tunnels, and now that Israel has cleared all the tunnels and driven them together, they have resisted with innocent hostages and then surrendered to survive, just to regain a chance to dig tunnels again to reproduce and brainwash.
Haniyeh will never "dismantle Hamas", just as Hamas has been fighting Israel for so long, and the fact that he, as one of the top leaders, has been able to hide in Qatar and never go to Gaza once is enough to prove that Hamas is nothing more than a tool for him to make profits and hold power.
He will not actively destroy his "tools", but he will rename "guns", such as "hoes" and "hammers". In that case, the terrorist organization Hamas will still exist, and they will do other things under a new name, and they will come back when they grow again.
Israel has believed Hamas's words before, but Hamas's purpose has always been to "exterminate the whole of Israel, and the territory of Israel is owned by Palestine". So this time, Israel firmly rejected Hamas's "surrender and lay down its arms".
After extermination, they will also lay down their arms. If you make a mistake, you have to pay for it.
I don't have any problem with Israel's refusal to accept Hamas's capitulation, and as for some people who think that "Israel is too tough", they may not know what Hamas looks like when it gets tough. This sympathy is sad and ignorant, as was the case with the protesting schoolgirls who danced the "Liberation of Gaza" dance at Columbia yesterday in support of Hamas, who wept when they were arrested, but they did not know that under Hamas, Gaza women would be killed for dancing this dance.
