Escalation Approaches Red Lines... and Netanyahu is Convinced

Despite the International Court of Justice's decision in the case of South Africa against Israel and its significance, it remains insufficient to provide actual grounds to halt the Israeli occupation from continuing its acts of extermination. It is expected that Tel Aviv will disregard this ruling and continue its war against the Palestinian people, as its history of violating international laws and norms confirms this. Furthermore, the reactions from Israeli officials to the court's decision and the continued deliberate killings of civilians in Gaza by the enemy's army immediately after the decision clearly indicate that the Israeli entity will not adhere to what the court has called for, according to "Al-Anbaa Electronic."

Whereas the United States and some of its allies have encouraged Tel Aviv's acts of extermination through blind and unconditional support since October 7, this criminal policy has also taken a different course in Washington and some Western countries by suspending funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) under the pretext of verifying the involvement of agency staff in the events of October 7. This decision signifies an impact on UNRWA's operations in the coming months, amidst the severe humanitarian crises faced by the residents of Gaza that have reached famine levels.

On the front in southern Lebanon, the intensification of military confrontations between Hezbollah and Israel, along with the expansion of their scope, has drawn more attention to the south, especially with escalating threats from both political and military leaders in Israel. Security sources indicated through "Al-Anbaa" the "seriousness of the situation in the south amid information about Israel reinforcing its forces in northern occupied Palestine against Hezbollah, which has begun using smart missiles and drones that hit their targets accurately for the first time. This leads to the belief that the military escalation on both sides of the southern border has begun to approach red lines, serving as the fire that precedes the storm, unless international pressures succeed in compelling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the war government he leads to ease their aggressive intentions towards Lebanon and replace them with a return to negotiations over the land borders and the implementation of Resolution 1701, while resolving disputed points in exchange for a serious ceasefire in Gaza."

The sources revealed that "Netanyahu, who has promised the families of Israeli captives to work for their release by all military and diplomatic means, is fully convinced that expanding fronts and prolonging the war in Gaza and southern Lebanon serves his interests in the end. He believes that emerging victorious from the battle lies solely in his ability to curtail the military role of Hamas and Hezbollah, which would strengthen his political position. This means that the war, despite the significant losses incurred by Israel during the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the war on Gaza, continues, which is what Netanyahu aims for."
