Speaking of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he is a tough man. Recently, he has made a statement that military operations will not stop until a specific goal is achieved. As soon as these words came out, many people muttered in their hearts: What is the complex background and multifaceted influence behind this?
Let's start with domestic political pressures. Netanyahu's government is facing intense pressure from hard-liners at home to take decisive action against security threats, particularly attacks on Palestinian militant groups. No, the ongoing military campaign has become a way for them to demonstrate the government's commitment to national security and to strengthen their political base.
Let's talk about security goals. Israel's military operations have a clear purpose: to weaken the military capabilities of hostile groups, prevent cross-border attacks, and protect the security of its own citizens. The statement that we will not stop until we reach our goals is telling the world that our current military operations are crucial to achieving these security goals!
However, this stance will arouse a lot of criticism in the international community. Why? Because a protracted conflict exacerbates a humanitarian crisis and tarnishes Israel's international image. Tell me, if this international image is damaged, it will consume the moral foundation of the state, after all, the memory of the suffering of the Jews during the Second World War is still there.
However, there are risks associated with continued military operations. It could deepen hostility with the Palestinians, be detrimental to the peace process in the long term and increase regional instability.
