La supervivencia de Hamás complica la reelección a Netanyahu
El primer ministro israelí afronta las urnas en octubre con la promesa incumplida de la “victoria total” y la necesidad de cumplir el plan de Trump
Since the Hamas attack in October 2023, Benjamin Netanyahu has been trying to reshape the narrative around the most lethal day in Israel's history into a story of a redemptive and apocalyptic battle for a new Middle East. He has failed, and his political problem has now become an electoral one. Netanyahu faces the polls in two months with poor prospects, and a Gaza situation that promised not to happen: nearly 74,000 deaths and an unfinished, devastating invasion did not stop Hamas from ruling the Gaza Strip where almost all the population resides.
It is not him, but Donald Trump, who decides what Israel can do there. Encircled by fear of the furious US president and the need to project strength and independence to his supporters, Netanyahu has recently refused publicly an agreement for disarming Hamas, while discreetly fulfilling parts of the ceasefire obligations that he has systematically violated.
