Defeated Israel has nothing to show for its war on Gaza but death and destruction
Omar Baddar, a Middle East political analyst, says that Israeli authorities are trying to deliver an “image” of achievement but that “frankly, they have nothing to show”.
“The entire campaign of death and destruction in Gaza has achieved nothing but death and destruction for its own sake,” he told Al Jazeera.
Baddar added that recent statements by Trump on “the possibility of expelling all Palestinians out of Gaza” reflect “the fantasy of the extreme right in Israel”.
“I think this is just giving Netanyahu his wish list to finally be able to openly advocate for that position that he’s always had,” Baddar said.
“Of course, anybody with a set of eyes and a functioning brain understood that what Israel was waging in Gaza is a war on the entire Palestinian population.”
“We are moving in a very, very dark direction, and I think that the United States bears significant responsibility because of Trump’s statements and, frankly, US policy, even before that of a blank check for Israel,” he said.
