Three “conditions for peace”. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, lays out the path to ending the ongoing war with Hamas and military operations in the Gaza Strip. The prime minister outlines the scenario in an editorial for the Wall Street Journal, pointing to the process as going through three steps: “Destroy Hamas, demilitarize Gaza, deradicalize the entire Palestinian society.”
“The United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and many other countries support Israel's intention to dismantle the terrorist group. To achieve this goal, “Hamas’ military capabilities must be dismantled and its political role in Gaza must be exhausted.” Second, Israel must ensure that Gaza “is no longer used as an attack base.”
“This requires, among other things, the creation of a temporary security zone on the Gaza border and a border control mechanism between Gaza and Egypt that meets Israel's security needs and prevents weapons from entering the area,” Netanyahu said. According to the prime minister, “the expectation that the Palestinian Authority will demilitarize Gaza is an unattainable dream.”
The Palestinian Authority accuses the Israeli prime minister of “currently funding and glorifying terrorism in Judea and Samaria and raising Palestinian children to seek the destruction of Israel.” As a third point, Netanyahu continues: “Schools must teach children to love life and not death. And imams must stop preaching for killing Jews. Palestinian civil society must be transformed so that people support the fight against terrorism rather than financing it.” All of this will likely require courageous and moral leadership,” says Netanyahu, who rejects Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas without appeal: “He cannot even condemn the October 7 atrocities.”
Netanyahu points to the “successful de-radicalization” carried out “in Germany and Japan after the Allied victory in World War II” as a model, declaring that “both nations are now great allies of the United States, promoting peace, stability and prosperity “. Europe and Asia”. After September 11, 2001 and the attack on America, “visionary leaders of the Gulf Arabia led efforts to deradicalize their societies and transform their countries.” “When Hamas is destroyed, Gaza is demilitarized, and Palestinian society begins a process of deradicalization, Gaza can be rebuilt and the prospect of a broader peace in the Middle East becomes a reality,” he concludes.
