With such a drastic gesture, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared the return of the bodies only to be taken hostage again by Hamas and promised revenge for what he regards as a “cruel and malicious violation” of the Hamas-Israel truce. The issue involves, to a large extent, the handover of the bodies in the framework of the hostage exchange. Israel, however, claims that Hamas did not hand the body of Shiri Bibas, a mother of two children, over to them as the behest of them.
The Israel military proclaimed to the public this news on the last working day of the week for one of the bodies of the four Handed over by Hamas is not that of Shiri Bibas nor that of any other Israeli person encountering in the Gaza Strip. This newly revealed fact shook up Israeli society, and the shadow of doubt settled over this very fragile truce that embraced merely 15 months of peace.
Netanyahu’s sources of news are very professional and responsible as they reflect the gloomy situation in the country. “We pledge perpetually to bring Shiri back home beside our hostages whether they are alive or dead and to confirm that Hamas will be punished for this gross and cruel violation of the agreement after which the PM, “he added. The governance of the Prime Minister will not only be effective and relentless in retaliation to warn the current ceasefire plan already in place will not hold and war may come once again to the forefront of the region.
Biba’s sons, Ariel and Kfir, and also Oded Lifshitz, have been revealed as the soldiers of freedom who returned and were identified. The other dead body was of Oded Lifshitz, who was an older peace activist. Before, the fighting led them to claim that the Bibas family members died in Israeli bombings, however, Israel supported the test results, according to which the two children were dead because the captors had killed them.
This latest development is dramatically changing the life story of the Bibas family, who, since they were taken as hostages by Hamas, have been the symbols of the Israeli life and nail.
However, there is no clear understanding of whether the compelling hostage exchange for prisoners will materialize. Six more living hostages are to be set free on Saturday in the context of the ongoing ceasefire. The movement they are leading has made it clear that it will handover another 4 hostages in the following week, thus reaching the first phase of the ceasefire. Although the idea of extending the truce beyond its present phase, i.e. until the beginning of March, looks troubled.
American special envoy Adam Boehler has described the sending of the unrecognized body as “atrocious” and as a “clear violation” of the ceasefire. His strict words represent the international community’s anxiety over potentially the peace talks may break down. Boehler’s opinion that Hamas ought to set all the hostages free; otherwise, it should confront the “complete extermination” of its entity is indicative of the very high predicament that negotiations are facing.
The debate has occurred at a time when Israel is struggling with other security issues as well. A series of bombing incidents involving three empty buses parked in the center of Israel yesterday had no casualties. In retaliation, the Israeli military has decided to deploy more troops in the West Bank, and the likelihood of further conflict increases.
Under considerable pressure, Netanyahu’s central subject, which had the task of rejecting all the hostages’ return and at the same time maintaining its position against Hamas, is not reaching its aims well. The Prime Minister’s tough policy, which calls for the destruction of Hamas’s military and governance capabilities and gets the Trump administration’s support, is opposed to the Hamas group’s demand, which is a far-reaching ceasefire and complete Israeli withdrawal.
The situation has become even more complex because of Trump’s erratic proposal to evacuate about 2 million Palestinians from Gaza and convey the area to the U.S. for renovation. Netanyahu, who has undertaken this project, has found no audience support from the Palestinians and even the Arab countries, causing another level of difficulty in the already complex negotiations.
As time goes by, more and more people are worried about the unintended escalation of this potential conflict. The military action in Gaza has resulted in substantial life loss and heavy destruction, as recorded by Gaza’s Health Ministry, with 48,000 plus Palestinian casualties. A chance of further hostilities can yield more people getting hurt, and the region could still see more problems with the damage over the few months of fighting.
World community members shuddered as they observed the play of these affairs and longed for a peaceful solution that would blurt out a full-fledged war. Diplomatic efforts are expected to be boosted in the near future as negotiators step up the efforts to”put the fire out” of the existing ceasefire agreement and start the comprehensive and more fruitful peace talks.
Amid the families of apprehensive hostages who are eagerly looking forward to catching up with their loved ones and the civilians on both sides who are preparing for potential renewed violence, the world is holding its breath. The coming days and weeks will undoubtedly be decisive in determining whether diplomatic solutions can defeat the cycle of retaliation and counter-retaliation that has been long prevailing in this conflict.
