Hani al-Dali says Israeli strikes on Gaza aim to prolong the war, while Egypt, Türkiye, and Qatar struggle to enforce the Gaza ceasefire.
Tuesday evening’s Israeli strikes on Gaza reflect "Israel’s" desire to prolong the war on the Strip, Palestinian Resistance affairs analyst Hani al-Dali told Al Mayadeen.
Al-Dali explained that the continuation of the war serves Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who "seeks to continue his policy of blackmail and to prove that the occupation still maintains security and military control over the Gaza Strip."
He outlined several obstacles preventing the recovery of Israeli captives’ bodies in the Gaza Strip, noting that the first is that four bodies have "completely evaporated". The second obstacle he mentioned is that some bodies are located within the “yellow line”, the area to which Israeli forces withdrew under the agreement, and " this requires approval from the occupation."
The third challenge, al-Dali explained to Al Mayadeen, involves bodies of captives buried deep inside tunnels, which are difficult to retrieve without heavy machinery.
The Resistance affairs expert stressed that the mediators, particularly Egypt, Türkiye, and Qatar, bear responsibility for the occupation’s failure to uphold its commitments under the first phase of the agreement, noting that "those allowing the occupation not to honor the deal are the United States and certain Arab countries."
Al-Dali said that the United States continues to reinforce the growing conviction that it is still giving "Israel" the green light to carry on with its aggression against the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that Palestinian factions remain deeply committed to ensuring the success of the ceasefire.
