N. Lygeros

Now we have more information about the terrorist attack of Hamas against Israel. We know that it was not an improvisation. We also know that it’s not an invasion, because already the Israeli military has counterattacked and controls every community around Gaza. So the situation is more clear, because we can see that there was a manipulation about the facts, so it was a surprise, this is true and the problem is how big this surprise was for Israeli forces. The reality is that now, after the terrorist attack, we are at the level of the strategic  counterattack, so Israel defined already targets  and specific targets in relation with its strategy, in order to control the region, but also Gaza. Why? Because everything came from Gaza which doesn’t  mean that everything was decided in Gaza, but the point is that it was the starting point and the flashpoint of course. So now we can see that for the control of all the region, Israel has made many strikes in order to not only control, but to stop any will of attack against civilians. So the situation is that we are in a crisis, we are definitely in a war phase, why? Because we can see that the position of Israel is that Hamas is a real enemy, not just a political opponent and with this terrorist attack we see that the position of Israel is correct. I mean the choice between the political and the military position. So now we want what? We want a regulation, not a negotiation about that, we want this conflict to have a small impact. So in order to do that we have to finish all this process quickly and for that we have to be together and against this barbarity against innocent people. So now we have the facts, we have the new game, the new war game and we want, in fact, an end game rather quickly to solve the problem and to show and demonstrate to everyone that the situation is under control for the future.
