According to ESPM international relations professor Gunther Rudzit, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is deliberately prolonging the conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah as a political maneuver to remain in power.
Rudzit highlighted Israel’s recent demonstration of technological superiority, especially in intercepting Iranian missiles and in operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
However, the expert questions the strategic objective behind these actions, especially the dissemination of information about the infiltration of Hezbollah’s communication systems.
Exposure of tactical advantages
The professor explained that, normally, a government only exposes a tactical advantage, such as infiltration into enemy communications systems, when it is no longer going to use it or when it is about to be discovered.
In this case, Hezbollah apparently had no knowledge of the infiltration, which makes Israel’s decision to reveal this information all the more puzzling.
Rudzit suggests that the only plausible explanation for this strategy is Netanyahu’s desire to prolong the conflict.
With military operations in the Gaza Strip largely complete and Hamas reportedly defeated, the prime minister would face strong domestic opposition if the war were to end.
Political and international implications
By prolonging the conflict, Netanyahu not only remains in power, but also continues to harm President Joe Biden’s electoral chances in the United States.
The professor argues that the Israeli Prime Minister prefers Donald Trump’s return to the American Presidency, hoping for a more favorable policy towards Israel.
Rudzit’s analysis sheds light on the complex interactions between military strategy, domestic politics, and international relations in the context of the Middle East conflict.
She suggests that Israel’s tactical decisions may be influenced more by political considerations than purely military needs.
