Occupied Jerusalem -
An Israeli general said that "the effort that
Israel is taking to confront the Corona crisis must receive a price from Hamas,
and achieve its strategic interests, especially by ending the crisis of Israeli
soldiers held by the movement in Gaza, and achieving its security
interests."
Michal Milstein, head of the Palestinian Studies
Forum at the Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University, added in his article in
the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, that "from one day to the next, the level
of anxiety and fear of the possibility of corona spread among the Palestinians,
as well as the Israelis, increases despite reassurance messages sent by Hamas
between The residents of Gaza, especially after discovering two cases of Corona
returning to the Strip from abroad, and Hamas reiterating that Gaza is clean of
the epidemic.
Milstein, the former head of the Palestinian
division of the Military Intelligence Service-Aman, and a former consultant for
Palestinian affairs in the Office of the Israeli Coordinator at the Ministry of
War, said: "Hamas nevertheless knows that the situation in Gaza is very
dangerous, and if the epidemic is widespread in it, it will not have a real
serious capacity to address To him, what might affect it negatively among the
Palestinians. "
He explained that "Hamas declares from time
to time that (Israel) is fully responsible for the possibility of the spread of
corona in the Strip, and this announcement means that there is a compulsory
forced link between the humanitarian health situation in Gaza and the security
situation there."
He emphasized that "this link has lived
(Israel) its effects previously in escalating rounds between Hamas and
(Israel), led by the recent Gaza war Al-Jarf Al-Samid 2014, it is true that the
Hamas government in Gaza is trying to keep the sector calm and stable, but it
has taken a series of steps indicating its concern And on top of it is the
gradual announcement of stopping the rituals of life in the Strip, including
praying in mosques, and establishing hundreds of quarantine units that will be
required in time of need.
He stressed that "the Israeli legal
commitment to the sector is concurrent with its strategic interests to help the
Gaza Strip in relation to preventing the outbreak of corona, including helping
to treat those who may contract the disease in the future, even if they include
Hamas members and their families, especially after putting the commander of the
security forces in Gaza is part of the sanitary isolation, and it may not be
the last of them. "
He added that "the Israeli goal should be to
prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, involving the Palestinian masses,
and at the same time maintain population stability in the Strip, because in the
event of any destabilization of these conditions, Hamas and the rest of the
factions may direct it toward (Israel) through The initiative to carry out
military actions to extract concessions from them by force. "
He claimed that "the Israeli efforts to
prevent the outbreak of the corona in Gaza should not be without price, because
the first thing that you should talk about (Israel) with Hamas is the issue of
its citizens and its captured soldiers in Gaza with Hamas, whether through the
Red Cross or any other international body. , Lest they become infected with the
epidemic, and if this is achieved, they are assured that they have received
health treatment similar to all Gazans in the Strip.
He explained that "in the event of increased
humanitarian and health requests from Gaza, there is no objection that (Israel)
will increase its lists of demands regarding its prisoners there, besides the
request from Hamas to impose its control on the other factions for not having
security breaches from time to time to fire (Israel), And to stop directing
military operations in the West Bank. "
He emphasized that "as long as the corona
works to change the priorities of the major countries around the world, Hamas
is part of this world, it is true that it carries an ideology hostile to
(Israel), but it is a movement that does not seek suicide, and because of this
global crisis the threats of the traditional movement have receded, such as
launching Missile missiles, or weekly rallies, and incendiary balloons.
He concluded by saying that "Hamas is now
aware of the seriousness of the corona threat it faces in Gaza, and the
importance of obtaining aid to confront it, which may give (Israel) an
opportunity to use this need to extract concessions from Hamas."
