Israel’s prime minister is ill equipped for war and peace
FIVE DAYS into Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza, its armoured and infantry battalions are deepening their presence in the northern and central sectors of the strip, while starting to take casualties. Civilian deaths continue to spiral to horrific levels with reports of dozens of Palestinians killed by the bombardment of several buildings in Jabalia, north of Gaza City.
Who will ensure that Hamas does not return and assume responsibility for over 2m civilians in a war-ravaged area? The security chiefs complain that they have received no directives from the government on this matter. Israel has mobilised 360,000 reservists at huge cost to the economy and the war-planners need to know when some of them can return to civilian life. Infighting is also hampering relief programmes for Israeli citizens.
