Why Israel ignored Egyptian warnings?

Every time I take into consideration the state of affairs in Gaza, and the remainder of occupied Palestine, 5 questions rush to my thoughts – Why did the Israeli authorities not give consideration to the Egyptian warning concerning the attainable assault by Hamas?

Why did the Israeli authorities ignore the symbolic significance of the fiftieth anniversary of their conflict with Egypt again in 1973? Why did the Israelis not take motion instantly, particularly that tv channels have been there broadcasting scenes of the assaults? Is Netanyahu gaining any private benefit from a conflict like this? and What are the similarities between October 7, 2023 and September 11, 2001?

The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been round for many years. Because the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the declaration of the Israeli state on Palestinian land in 1948, clashes are occurring between numerous teams. Nonetheless, what has been taking place in Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023 jogs my memory of the US response to the September 11, 2001 assaults within the US. The next strains present a perspective.

The Egyptian warning: Proper earlier than October 7, Egyptian intelligence authorities warned the Israeli authorities a couple of attainable shock assault. “One thing large” they stated, which put an enormous query mark on the Israeli intelligence’s failure to foretell such an occasion. Having the best intelligence safety programs on the planet, this occasion made individuals criticise it for being “not adequate”. As well as, the Prime Minister of Israel suspiciously ignored all warnings, as if he was ready for one thing to occur in order that he might do one thing about it, to avoid wasting himself from jail. The prime minister denied receiving any warnings, saying that they have been “faux information”.

The symbolism of October 7: Again on October 7, 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a shock assault on Israeli forces within the Sinai and the Golan Heights. The conflict continued and precipitated either side big monetary and human losses, which on the finish resulted within the victory of the Egyptian military which gained full management of Sinai. Though there are nonetheless completely different opinions concerning the winner of that conflict, the necessary factor is the query: Why did the Israeli intelligence programs not predict and put together for such an occasion? Folks nonetheless bear in mind the day and realise what might or may occur. How come the prime minister didn’t bear in mind such an occasion, and prepare for it?

Wait, prepared, GO!: Operation Toofaan Al Aqsa by Hamas began roughly at 6:31 am within the morning. Hamas launched the assault by sending an enormous variety of rockets and bombs to the centre of Israel, inflicting greater than 800 deaths of Israelis and holding a few hundred as captives. Furthermore, they aggressively continued attacking Israel for hours. In the meantime, TV channels and information reporters had already acquired there and began broadcasting the scenes stay, which raises many questions: Why did the Israeli authorities not take motion instantly? Why did Netanyahu wait so lengthy to declare conflict towards Hamas? He might have simply blocked all of the roads stopping Hamas from escaping and will instantly have informed Israeli troopers to get them whereas they have been out of their tunnels. This, in actual fact, was a really tactical transfer by Netanyahu.

He needed to carry Hamas accountable for what they’ve achieved as proof and a justification to assault Gaza as onerous as he can and kill as many civilians as attainable and trigger the surviving ones to depart their land. Netanyahu needed Hamas to take time attacking Israelis, to trigger extra destruction in order that he might assault again with out having to fret about what the world thinks. Plainly his plan was a genocide in Gaza Strip.

A sneaky means out!: Proper earlier than October 7, big protests have been going continuous within the centre of Israel. It was occurring for months towards the judicial reforms that Netanyahu was attempting to implement. The prime minister had many allegations of corruption that he was repeatedly denying, and he had no different approach to dodge them than the judicial reforms, which are supposed to cut back the Supreme Court docket’s energy in making legal guidelines and insurance policies, and limiting its energy to evaluate legal guidelines, giving the federal government extra management over selecting judges. This resulted in taking the 15 judges of the Supreme Court docket down. Netanyahu badly wanted a diplomatic victory that will assist him keep away from his corruption allegations and in addition give him assist with regard to private life. As well as, his calling it a “conflict” towards Hamas is simply to sugarcoat the truth that he needed to get worldwide assist to destroy Gaza, kill its individuals, and drive them away to Egypt, demolishing the 2 state resolution.

One other 9/11?: Now let’s evaluate what is occurring in Gaza to what occurred again on September 11, 2001. We will clearly see how related each conditions are. Again within the day, America had the last word objective which was invading Afghanistan and destroying Al Qaeda, in addition to invading Iraq and taking down Saddam Hussein. Their technique was permitting the September 11 assaults to occur, with many evidences such because the Larry Silverstein’s sudden insurance coverage deal on twin towers. Data present that some individuals knew that the assaults would happen there earlier than filming the scenes of the towers coming down.

Conclusion: Netanyahu’s technique to avoid wasting himself the corruption allegations towards him (in addition to the conflict crimes he dedicated in Gaza) by sacrificing each Israelis and Palestinians jogs my memory of the previous French saying which can be translated as “Let me survive and let the flood take everybody else”, which is often translated into Arabic as “Anaa wa man ba’dii al-Toofaan”. In different phrases, Netanyahu was ready for a flood or a toofaan that may delay his judicial issues, which can save him and sweep anybody else, even the so-called Israeli residents. And he discovered a flood or a toofaan, which is Toofaan Al-Aqsaa, which is the title of the operation that began on October 7, 2023.
