President Donald Trump deserves kudos for his bullying of the Israeli leadership, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, into a settlement with Hamas that resulted in the return of the remaining live hostages and the bodies of all but three of the dead. The peace agreement will not move into its second phase unless the remaining hostage bodies are returned, along with the bodies of two IDF soldiers who were killed and buried in Gaza during the war that took place in 2014. I have been told by an informed Israeli that the Israeli intelligence community is convinced that Hamas knows where those bodies are.<\/p>\n
Trump has taken victory laps about the return of the hostages and, as the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0reported this week, he has repeatedly claimed: \u201cI will decide what I think is right\u201d for Israel. A new multinational command, the Civil-Military Coordination Center, headed by an American three-star Army lieutenant general, has been set up in Israel, and the press has been told that one of the general\u2019s functions will be to decide when to engage Hamas in case of treaty violations.<\/p>\n More specifically, a well-informed Israeli told me, the pending peace plan gives the American general \u201cthe right to overrule Bibi\u201d if he concludes that a pending Israeli military incursion is not justified.<\/p>\n Jared Kushner, the president\u2019s businessman son-in-law who has been reincarnated in the US media as a foreign affairs expert, told\u00a060 Minutes<\/em>\u00a0last week that it was his understanding that the president thought \u201cthe Israelis were getting a little bit out of control in what they were doing\u201d\u2014that is, continuing to bomb and kill Gazans in its ongoing effort to eliminate every member of Hamas\u2014\u201cand that it was time to be very strong and stop them from doing things that he felt were not in their long-term interests.\u201d<\/p>\n The problem with these analyses is that little is known about the extent of the authority the new US command center has, if any. There are some in Israel who believe Netanyahu is required to coordinate his attacks with the center. If so, that agreement would be an unprecedented restraint on the Israeli leader.<\/p>\n Link : https:\/\/seymourhersh.substack.com\/p\/the-gaza-war-is-not-over?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1377040&post_id=177423727&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=l7odh&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Donald Trump deserves kudos for his bullying of the Israeli leadership, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, into a settlement with Hamas that resulted in the return of the remaining live hostages and the bodies of all but three of the dead.
