  Amir Tibon. Key Points from Amir Tibon’s Haaretz Articl e 1. Netanyahu’s Contradiction on Hamas Despite Netanyahu's repeated promises to destroy Hamas, recent events suggest a tacit acceptance of the group's governing role in Gaza. His latest statement following a chaotic hostage release reinforced Hamas’s authority rather than undermining it. 2. Hamas Ensured Hostage Safety, Not Israel The hostage release process turned chaotic when a mob of Gazan civilians surrounded the captives. Instead of Israeli forces ensuring their safety, Hamas militants intervened and protected the hostages. This undermines Israel’s claim that it is eliminating Hamas’s operational control in Gaza. 3. Netanyahu’s Statement Recognized Hamas’s Role Instead of downplaying Hamas's role or focusing on Israel's efforts, Netanyahu’s statement implicitly acknowledged Hamas as the governing power in Gaza. His words suggested that, despite the war, Hamas still has the ability to enforce orde...

Key Points :  1. Consensus in Washington: Bipartisan agreement exists among U.S. leaders that Israel has a right to exist , as evidenced by statements from figures across the political spectrum. In 2023, the House affirmed Israel's right to exist by a vote of 412-1 . 2. Questioning Israel’s Form of Governance: The usual focus of U.S. leaders on individual rights contrasts with their support for Israel as a Jewish state, which raises concerns about equal rights for all under its control. The better question, according to the author, is whether Israel, as a Jewish state, adequately protects the rights of all individuals under its jurisdiction. The conclusion is that it does not. 3. Comparison with Other Nations: U .S. leaders support democratic reforms in oppressive regimes like Iran and China but exempt Israel from similar scrutiny. This double standard highlights a focus on the consent of the governed in other states but not in Israel. 4. Rights Denial and Discrimination: Pale...
