Israel is starving Palestinians to achieve its military goals
Europe Moves on Gaza
Eurointelligence has an excellent article today on events in Gaza. Please consider Europe Moves on Gaza.
Israel is starving Palestinians in Gaza to achieve its military goals. After an eerily long silence that accompanied Israel’s ground offensive, western nations are starting to react.
In a small but significant move, the UK government suspended trade talks with Israel and a majority of EU states agreed to start a review of its trade partnership with Israel. The pressure on the leaders who are still defending Israel’s actions is growing. The Spanish parliament passed a non-binding motion calling for the government to impose an arm embargo against Israel.
The most significant move, however, will come from the US. We understand that Donald Trump has also put pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu, but Trump has yet to decide of how he wants to proceed. On his Middle East tour he hardly mentioned Gaza, only to say that they are starving in Gaza and that they are going to do something about it. This week JD Vance was expected in Israel but decided not to go.
Netanyahu granted some aid delivery to get into Gaza after 11 weeks of complete blockade. This gesture is more to soothe the international community, not to take off the pressure on Palestinians. The details that emerge suggest that it will be far from what is needed. The plan is to set up several distribution centres which will be secured by Israeli military and managed by US contractors. Food distribution centres will be south of the Netzarim corridor, which splits Gaza in the middle. Those coming from the north for food will have no right to return once they passed through the screening.
The humanitarian emergency in Gaza happens in a wider political context. What happens with Iran or Syria and Lebanon matters for the future of the region and Israel’s role in it. Arab leaders have told Trump in private that Palestinians need their rights guaranteed. The US had also been talking to various nations about whether they would be ready to take Palestinians while Gaza is to be rebuilt. Trump evoked once again US ownership in Gaza on his Middle East tour, though Israel is making this look like another Vietnam to step into.
Does Trump still believe that he can sort out the mess in Gaza by going into it and make it all look nice? Or is he ready to confront Netanyahu, something what none of the previous presidents ever really did? Trump, the real estate developer, and Trump, the peacemaker, will eventually have to come up with a plan. And he needs to take Israel’s reaction into account. What would Netanyahu do if Trump shows him some tough love? Netanyahu could dig himself in with his far-right coalition partners rather than to moderate. It could increase the settlers’ radicalisation.
Netanyahu clearly misread Trump 2.0. He was banking on Trump as a reliable ally in his peace-by-force efforts. Trump’s Riviera plan for Gaza was used as a template for which Israel is doing the groundwork. The resumption of the war in Gaza had as its goals the idea to finish off Hamas and to make Gaza as uninhabitable as possible, so that more Palestinians would want to leave. But Netanyahu’s decision to conduct war through starvation has now started to backfire on Israel.
Gazalago Revisited
On February 4, 2025, I commented Trump says “US Will Take Over the Gaza Strip and Relocate All Palestinians”
Trump’s proposal has no funding or approval of any country but Israel. And it would put US troops in a war zone.
President Trump says the Gaza Strip will become the “Riviera of the Middle East” just minutes after saying the U.S. would “take over” the Strip.
Many Gaza questions are unanswered, such as cost, US military involvement, and where the Palestinians will go. But the resort will be stunning.
U.S. officials have yet to outline how they will remove Palestinians from Gaza if they don’t leave voluntarily. Moving forward with the plan could also undercut Trump and Netanyahu’s larger goal of reaching a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Eurointelligence says “war through starvation has now started to backfire on Israel,” but Netanyahu doesn’t care.
Netanyahu embraced Trump’s Gazalago idea and ran with it, complete with starvation to drive them all out or starve everyone who stays.
However, all the Arab countries rejected Trump’s proposal to move Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt and Jordan. So now what Mr. president?
