Many wonder what exactly Israel is after in this war and how far it is willing to go. There may be no single definitive answer, and Benjamin Netanyahu may seek several things at the same time, including the expulsion of a considerable part of the Palestinian population from the Gaza Strip, which until now numbered 2,3 million. .

The confusion is general and does not exclude the Hebrew media, where these days everything has been read when it comes to interpreting Netanyahu's threat to change today's Middle East for a different one, a threat he launched on the second day of the war, that is, October 8, without being more explicit, although other politicians around him have reiterated it in the same vague terms.

Behind all this is Israeli arrogance. The idea that we can do whatever we want and we will never pay for it or be punished. We will continue undisturbed.

We will arrest, kill, harass, dispossess and protect the settlers engaged in their pogroms. We will visit the Tomb of Joseph, the Tomb of Othniel and the Altar of Joshua in the Palestinian territories and, of course, the Temple Mount: more than 5.000 Jews on Sukkot alone.

We will shoot innocent people, gouge out their eyes and smash their faces, expel them, confiscate them, rob them, tear people out of their beds, carry out ethnic cleansing and, of course, continue the incredible siege of the Gaza Strip , and we will assume that everything will be fine.

The Israeli leaders boast of having an exceptional intelligence service and so it is, an intelligence service that knows up to the minute what is cooking in the most secret offices in Tehran, that is capable of entering an Iranian nuclear power plant and removing dozens of binders with detailed plans for the nuclear development program, or that he is capable of assassinating nuclear scientists in the heart of that country.

Well, that same Mossad, so pampered by its bosses, has not been able to smell what Hamas was preparing for months with the assistance and apparent approval of the authorities of the Islamic Republic, Israel's greatest enemy.

Israel announced on Monday a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip, which includes the closure of all border crossings and the cutting of electricity, water, food and fuel supplies to the region, while aerial bombardments on residential buildings and other buildings continue. objectives in the Palestinian territory.

Israeli airstrikes have caused hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries among Palestinians in the strip, with entire residential buildings leveled, scenes of widespread destruction and people searching for their relatives under the rubble, while hospitals collapse amid a great shortage of medicines.

The dazzling attack by Hamas against Israel constitutes a resounding qualitative change with respect to what has been seen until now. The Palestinian resistance organization that governs the Gaza Strip has killed more than a hundred Israelis and taken dozens prisoner, including soldiers and civilians. His release will be negotiated as an exchange in exchange for thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, probably addressing the lifting of the blockade on the Strip.

It is actually wrong to speak of a status quo in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. It is true that the Israeli authorities often use that expression, but it is no less true that these authorities change the status quo on a daily, persistent and decisive basis.
