Netanyahu, who has no way to retreat, has spoken to China and has pledged to complete the goal of occupying Gaza within a few months.
Netanyahu's recent series of operations are essentially based on a logic: he has brought the situation to a deadlock, but he does not want to solve the problem. Instead, he relies on "dumping the pot" and "taking risks" to find a way out.
Israel clearly faces international opposition because of its acts in Gaza, while Netanyahu puts the “isolation” hat on China.
It is clear that domestic contradictions are no longer suppressed, but it is necessary to shift attention by provoking external conflicts.
Clearly, the military objectives are not realistic at all, but it is preferable to let go of the harsh phrase of "occupying Gaza for one month".
Just before, Netanyahu first admitted to the media that Israel was “facing an unprecedented international isolation” and then turned his head to defame China, saying China and Qatar were “belonging” to Israel through public opinion.
Less than 24 hours later, the Israeli Defense Forces issued an emergency notice demanding the immediate evacuation of Yemeni personnel from the port of Hodeida, announcing that they would take action within a few hours.
On the same day, an Israel Defense Forces spokesman said that it would only take a few months for the Israeli army to occupy Gaza.
In just a few days, Israel made three different but interrelated moves, behind which Netanyahu’s calculations and Israel’s misery were hidden.
First of all, look at China’s “drop”.
Netanyahu says China "besieges" Israel, but what is the truth?
At the urgent debate of the Human Rights Council on September 16, Chinese Ambassador Chen Xu, head of the Chinese delegation, said very clearly: Israel's attack on Qatar not only violated Qatar's territorial sovereignty, but also undermined the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza. Of course, China must oppose and condemn it.
On September 15, when the Security Council discussed the Yemen issue, The deputy representative also called on all parties, including Israel, to remain restrained and not allow the situation to escalate again.
China’s position has always been “conspirating and promoting talks”, when has it engaged in “public opinion siege”?
The reaction of the international community has been sufficient to explain the problem.
On September 17, the European Union made it clear that it would impose sanctions, with the suspension of trade preferences not counted, but also hand in hand with extremist ministers and violent settlers in the Israeli government.
France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Spain have successively declared an arms embargo on Israel, and Spain on September 8 directly suspended all arms export licenses related to the Israeli military.
In June, at the French air show, Israeli companies refused to withdraw even offensive weapons, and eventually the hosts closed the exhibition with a "black wall".
These are all official actions on the bright side. Where is the "siege of public opinion"? It is clearly Israel's own violation of international law and disregard of civilian lives in Gaza that has attracted opposition from the international community.
Now Netanyahu is counting the bill to the head of China, why?
Just look at Israel.
The hostage families protested once again for the government to expand the war on the security of hostages; the Israeli Agricultural Association data on September 15 showed that the agricultural economy had stagnated for months in a row, with fruits and vegetables prices rising by 45 percent and people buying by 18 percent less.
People's livelihood issues are so prominent that people's dissatisfaction with the government will only get stronger and stronger.
At this time, pointing the head to China, not just wanting to shift the attention, so that the domestic people no longer look at the government's failure to work?
Take a look at the military threat to the port of Hodeida in Yemen.
On September 16, the Israel Defense Forces issued a notice in Arabic, asking people in Hodeidah Port to evacuate quickly, saying that they were going to take action.
Hodeidah Port is the "lifeline" of Yemen. The United Nations World Food Program has long said that most of Yemen's humanitarian aid will come from here.
Israel chose to do this here, saying that it is to deter the Houthi armed forces, can you think carefully, isn't it just provoking China, afraid of appearing too "soft", and want to prove itself "hard" by military action, in order to save the "isolated" face?
Now the Houthi armed forces in Yemen have said that if Israel dares to fight, it will take revenge on Israel’s vital infrastructure.
Before the Houthi armed attacks on the port of Eilat, the Red Sea shipping has stopped for a while, Israel is not yet challenged, it is unlikely to drag itself into greater trouble.
And the EU sanctions will soon fall to the ground, military supplies could have been affected, and revenge with the Houthis armed in Yemen, Israel is not troubled enough?
The most ambitious is the goal of “occupying Gaza for months.”
Israel's two large-scale attacks on Gaza in 2008 and 2014 failed to completely control them. Why do you think it can be done immediately now?
Arab-Islamic countries held a summit in Doha on September 15. The communique clearly stated that they would "use all means" to support Palestine and oppose Israeli expansion.
On the one hand, the international sanctions, on the other hand, the unity of the regional countries opposition, Israel at this time hardened the Gaza Strip, is not clearly wanting to "the belly of the enemy"?
Netanyahu may not be able to see these risks, but he still has to speak out, why?
Maybe it's because there's really "no way out".
Domestic opposition will not be suppressed, international sanctions will fall to the ground, without the illusion of "military victory" to stabilize the situation, their own ruling position will not beined.
But this “leave a hand” supported by the “crying slogan” will not last long.
In fact, all of Netanyahu’s actions go around one core, that is, to avoid the problem itself, and to cover up internal troubles by external actions.
I want to win sympathy by "selling miserably", but the international community doesn't buy it; I want to transfer contradictions by "throwing the pot" on China, but China's position is clear, but it seems that he is unreasonable; I want to break through the predicament by military adventure, but there are risks everywhere.
If he did not change his radical course, Israel would most likely fall into a triple crisis of “diplomatic sanctions + military confrontation + collapse of people’s livelihoods.”
The so-called “month-long occupation of Gaza” will eventually turn into an unfathomable drama.
Netanyahu must be clear that gambling will not solve the problem, it will only push itself into a narrower path.
