TEL AVIV — An Israeli political analyst is expressing
skepticism about the prospects of
achieving victory in Gaza, asserting that
Hamas has undergone thorough preparations for the conflict. He underscores

In an article for the weekly supplement of the Hebrew
newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth," Nahum Barnea dives into the
Israeli ground operation in Gaza. While acknowledging the progress in addressing
tunnels and engaging with armed Hamas elements, he also highlights the
formidable challenges posed by the fighters, Khaberni reported.
Barnea raises pertinent questions regarding Israel's
capacity to withstand U.S. pressure for a ceasefire, particularly if
discussions involve a potential hostage deal. He advocates for a grounded
perspective, emphasizing that even if significant Hamas figures are
neutralized, the organization won't vanish. Barnea underscores the significance
of recognizing U.S. leadership in the unfolding scenario, pointing out that
US President Joe Biden's domestic setbacks intensify the urgency for an imminent
Gaza ceasefire.
In his comprehensive evaluation of the Gaza ground
operation, Barnea concludes that the envisioned victory is regrettably not
within reach.
