Whether it is the Russia-Ukraine conflict or the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, many actual situations show that bargaining chips that cannot be defeated on the battlefield are difficult to obtain at the negotiating table. At present, Hamas is somewhat undecided on the question of whether to accept Israel's ceasefire conditions.
If you don't, Israel will besiege Rafah, and Hamas will pay a huge price for it. Promise, Hamas, who has lost the last hole card, is afraid that Israel will turn its face and not recognize people. After a period of silence, the Israeli army may return, and by that time, the tragedy will still be played out in Rafah.
How to choose? Hamas is indeed in a difficult situation.
At a critical moment, three more things happened in the Middle East.
First of all, Israel has again launched a "decapitation" operation. According to the Lebanese state news agency, Israel dispatched warplanes and launched attacks on many places in Lebanon on the 4th. On 5 April, Israeli warplanes carried out air strikes in Lebanon, causing casualties.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense confirmed that on the 4th, Israel "beheaded" a Jihad commander and killed two Jihad personnel.
Hamas said on April 5 that it had dealt a heavy blow to Israeli forces during more than 15 hours of fighting, but one commander had been killed.
In the past few days, the Palestinian armed Jihad and Hamas have launched retaliation against Israel, and Jihad has shelled Israeli positions. Hamas and Israeli forces engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. On the 4th, Iraqi forces also launched cruise missiles at Israel.
As in the past, Hamas, Jihad, and Iraq's armed retaliation against Israel were a bit of a "thunderstorm and a little rain" and failed to hit Israel hard. The difference is that in the past few days, after being "beheaded" by Israel a large number of commanders, Allah has not retaliated against Israel.
In addition, Israel attacked Syria, wounding at least eight Syrian soldiers. Syria is angry and helpless about this.
The Russian Foreign Ministry revealed that the tension between Iran and Israel is likely to escalate again, and Russia is trying to make Iran and Israel exercise restraint.
Russia believes that if Iran crosses the dangerous line with Israel, the consequences will be unimaginable, and stability and security in the Middle East will most likely be undermined.
The last time Israel launched a military strike on Iranian soil, Iran chose to swallow its anger, but that doesn't mean Tehran will stop there. The Houthi attacks on US destroyers, British oil tankers, and Israeli ships are the actual actions of the "fox of resistance" to retaliate against their opponents.
Now Iran is trying to win over Saudi Arabia and Turkey. If Israel launches a ground military operation in Rafah and causes a large number of innocent casualties, a new "anti-Israel coalition" may be formed in the Middle East. When the time comes, the possibility of Iran's new and old hatreds being counted together and retaliating against Israel again is not non-existent.
The strength of the Russian intelligence agencies cannot be underestimated, and since such a call has been made, it means that the situation is not simple.
The third thing is that the Houthis issued an ultimatum that US aircraft carriers should be careful. In the context of the Houthi constant attacks on American and British ships, as well as the launch of Russian military operations in Syria, the US aircraft carrier "Eisenhower" entered the Mediterranean.
As the killer weapon of the US military, the deterrent effect brought by US aircraft carriers to Iran, Russia and Hamas is self-evident, but this does not mean that the pro-Iranian armed forces will "admit intimidation".
On May 3, the Houthis sent a signal that if Israel launched a military operation in Rafah, they would expand the scope of their attacks. For example, attacking ships associated with Israel in the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea.
Well, as soon as the US aircraft carrier entered the Mediterranean, the Houthis issued such a warning, is it too coincidental? You must know that the Houthis have displayed a hypersonic missile, which can pose a threat to the US aircraft carrier.
Of course, what you say is what you do. The Houthis should not attack the US aircraft carrier unless absolutely necessary, and that would mean declaring war on the US military, and the result is likely to be more than worth the loss. But in any case, the Houthis' harsh words will make the United States fall into the trap.
After all, the Houthis have just shot down the US "MQ-9" drone.
The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and when they encounter the hard bones of the Houthis, the United States can only sigh.
