The Israel’s entry into Gaza seems imminent. Blas Moreno, co-director of ‘The World Order’, confirms it. “I am pessimistic, the invasion of Gaza cannot be stopped and we are going to see terrible scenes,” he explains in statements to laSexta.

In this context, Israel fears that Hezbollah will enter the conflict“a much more powerful militia than Hamas,” he adds. This would imply that they would enter from the north, from Lebanon. Hence the attacks that Israel has already launched against some Hezbollah targets. It has also attacked another of its neighbors, Syria, where there is a presence of pro-Palestinian militias.

“The issue is the factions that in Lebanon and Syria could mobilize in this context, rather than the governments,” he warns. Alejandro Lopezcoordinator of Deciphering War. Jordan and Egypt They also play a fundamental role. The second country does not want the humanitarian corridor to open because they do not want migratory pressure.

Both have agreements with Israel, but their populations could play a fundamental role in the street. “They are going to put the most pro-Western governments in trouble because it is incongruous for the population to see that your government signs agreements with Israel while bombing your Palestinian brothers,” says Moreno.

In addition to those on the border, regional powers also try to position themselves in a conflict that affects them. For Israel, Iran is behind the Hamas attack. Its objective would be to thwart Saudi Arabia’s rapprochement with Israel, something it has already achieved.

In this sense, López considers that it is surprising Saudi Arabia’s position because it was in negotiations with Israel for a normalization agreement, but it has been especially harsh with it.

Those who have tried to mediate, without success, are Türkiye and Qatar. Moreno points out that both countries are in a good position to be able to mediate between both sides because they get along well with Israel and Hamas. But, for now, they have not managed to de-escalate the conflict.
