Netanyahu’s War Goals: Occupy Gaza or Liberate Prisoners?
Israeli journalist Aluf Benn, wrote a remarkable article titled “Netanyahu’s war goal is not the liberation of the prisoners but the occupation of Gaza”. Benn wrote in his article “Don’t be confused. The goal that Netanyahu is fighting for is occupation, even at the cost of the deaths of the remaining prisoners and the risk of a regional war.”He explained the situation clearly by using the expression.
Benn said Netanyahu sees the Israeli public’s focus on the prisoners and their fate as a “battering ram” used against him by his political opponents. In this context, “Prolonged occupation of the Gaza Strip” or “full Israeli security control over the Gaza Strip”He emphasized the obstacles to his goal. Netanyahu’s reiteration of the slogan he voiced against the Oslo Accords in 1996 at the cabinet meeting this week shows that the occupied territories will not be returned even under international pressure and even against the requests of the prisoners.

He argued that as long as Netanyahu wants the permanent and gradual occupation of Gaza with his words and actions, these two pillars will continue to support him.
