Israel Has No Ability to Open Up Two Fronts – Political Scientist

Political Science Professor specializing in Palestinian affairs Dr. Arej Jabr, said that the proposals of the new deal presented by the United States comes within the framework of attempts to stop the escalation in the region and exit from the state of war within a comprehensive deal.

Jabr added to Jordan24 that the Zionist entity does not have the ability to open up two fronts at once and continue the war in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank, especially in light of the exhaustion of the army due to the performance of the resistance in the Gaza Strip.

She explained that the proposal to stop fighting for 3 to 4 weeks and enter into negotiations leading to a comprehensive deal under the auspices of the United States will be part of the comprehensive settlement in the region.

Jabr indicated that the resistance in Gaza has returned to organize its ranks again and has taken control of large parts of the Strip, which will finally force the occupation to accept the Hamas conditions.

Jabr concluded by saying that the coming days will be decisive, noting that the occupation is betting on weakening Hezbollah after assassinating its first-tier leaders.

RSF Holds 10 Sit-ins Worldwide to Protest Killing of Gaza Journalists

Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) staged, Thursday, protests in 10 countries across world to pay homage to journalists killed in Gaza. 

The non-profit in a statement said the Israeli army, since last October, has killed over 130 journalists in the Palestinian enclave.

The protests were organized in Germany, Brazil, Spain, the US, UK, France, Senegal, Switzerland, Taiwan and Tunisia.

“With this global awareness campaign, RSF aims to alert the international public to the gravity of this crisis: the alarming rate at which these journalists are being killed is jeopardizing the right to free and independent information,” the RSF said in a statement.

“The massacre of journalists in Gaza must stop. The Israeli military’s elimination of Gaza’s journalists, more than 130 in less than a year, threatens to impose a complete media blackout on the locked-down enclave,” said Thibaut Bruttin, general-director of RS according to Anadolu.

“These attacks target not only the press in Palestine, but the right of the public everywhere to receive reliable information – free, independent and pluralistic – from one of the most watched conflict zones on the planet,” he added.

Israel has killed more than 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza since the Oct. 7 Hamas incursion. The conflict has also spread to Lebanon, where exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah continues.

Yitzhak Brik: Israel is Being Led to Ruin

Retired Israeli General Yitzhak Brik said the political and military bosses are leading Israel “toward ruin through a path with no exit.”

Brik explained despite the tactical achievements against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel’s strategic situation is deteriorating in terms of security and economy, as well as its relations with the countries of the world.

He added that Hezbollah, despite the targeting of its weapons and leaders, its missiles continue to destroy every part of northern Israel without stopping.

Brik stressed that the only way forward for Israel is to reach an exchange deal and stop the war in the Gaza Strip, in the hope that Hezbollah will stop firing.

It is noteworthy that since Monday morning, the Israeli army launched the most violent and extensive attack on Lebanon since the beginning of the confrontations with Hezbollah about a year ago, and the bombing resulted in the killing of more than 600 people, including children and women, and the wounding of more than 2,500, while official estimates indicate that about 400,000 people have been displaced according to Al Jazeera.

In return, Hezbollah launched rocket barrages targeting Israeli military bases and airports and areas in the Galilee, Safed, Haifa and others, causing material and human losses and the outbreak of fires.

The Israeli occupation army continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 11th consecutive month, which has left 41,495 martyrs, in addition to 96,006 wounded, in addition to an unprecedented health and humanitarian crisis.
