The doctor in international law, Priscila Caneparo, in an interview with CNN Brasil, stated that Israel’s objective is no longer a ceasefire or peace, but rather to eliminate Hezbollah. This statement sheds light on the possible strategies that Israel can adopt in its actions against the Lebanese group.
The expert drew a parallel between Israel’s military actions in Gaza against Hamas and what can be expected in relation to Hezbollah. According to Caneparo, we are likely to see a similar approach, characterized by three main aspects.
Intense military action and civilian impact
Firstly, the expert predicts an extremely violent action, where “everything is ignored to achieve the objective, from the perspective of the civilian population”. This suggests that military operations could have a significant impact on civilians in affected areas.
Secondly, Caneparo warns of the possibility of war crimes and crimes against humanity, citing concerns expressed by the international community, including the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.
Goals beyond national defense
Finally, the doctor argues that the central objective of Israel’s actions is not only to defend the interests of the Israeli people, but to meet the objectives of the ultra-Orthodox parties and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of eliminating Hezbollah, just as they sought to do with Hamas. Caneparo points out that, although Israeli society initially wanted the release of the hostages in Gaza, and now seeks the pacification of the “Blue Zone” in southern Lebanon (established by UN Security Council Resolution 1701 in 2006), the Israeli government seems have a broader agenda.
The expert concludes by warning that, despite Israel’s efforts, the complete elimination of groups like Hezbollah may be an unattainable objective, since “these extremist groups are an idea, not a materialized group”. This observation suggests that the conflict can extend beyond conventional military operations into more complex ideological and political spheres.
