#IsraelUSAHamasWar / Analysis: The humanitarian crisis in Gaza serves Hamas and harms Israel (Bar Rapaport)
Bar Rapaport, a Project Manager for Climate Diplomacy at #Mitvim (The Israeli Institute for Regional Foreign Policies) writes that calls to block aid to pressure #Hamas on prisoners hurts Israel's war aims and empowers Hamas. #Israel should support aid to prevent catastrophe and use it to weaken Hamas.
Key messages:
Calls to block aid to pressure #Hamas on prisoners hurts #Israel's war aims and empowers Hamas. Israel should support aid to prevent catastrophe and use it to weaken Hamas.
Israel should take steps to stabilize the health situation in Gaza, like restoring some power and fuel, chlorinating water, and vaccination campaigns. This would expand Israel's freedom of military action.
Aid should be directed in a way that weakens Hamas rule. Hamas currently controls all aid entering Gaza. Alternate civil governance structures should be supported to manage civilian life in Gaza.
Providing humanitarian aid without civil governance reform only strengthens Hamas.
