Half a century after the attack that started the Yom Kippur WarHamas launched its largest offensive against Israel this Saturday. Pablo del Amo, coordinator of Decifrando la Guerra, points out in laSexta that “the Palestinian factions are occupying national territory of Israel recognized“.

Israel has been experiencing for months a internal crisis due to the judicial reform promoted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prevent him from being tried. “The security forces and the army, which have even declared strikes on some occasions (…) Let’s say that the Palestinian factions in Gaza have chosen the best moment,” says Del Amo.

A key moment that has completely surprised the Government of Israel. “It is an enormous failure for the Israeli Government and for state institutions, specifically for Netanyahu,” Haizam Amirah, senior researcher on the Mediterranean and the Middle East at the Elcano Royal Institute, stressed in laSexta. Something that can make you stay in aquestionable place in the eyes of the world. “Netanyahu has failed because he has appeared before the Israeli public and before the eyes of the world as someone who did not see an unprecedented attack coming by land, sea and air, in broad daylight,” highlights Amirah.

An attack that makes peaceful coexistence very difficult in the immediate future. “Here there was no possibility of there being peace. Here what there was was the possibility of there being an unconditional surrender of the Palestinians,” says Del Amo. Netanyahu has promised an unprecedented response, with air strikes that have already started.
