Weapons in Gaza: Between the Logic of Force and the Logic of Politics: Are We Facing the End of Resistance or Its Redefinition?
An opinion article in Palestine Online analyzes the leaked draft regarding the resistance's weapons in Gaza, viewing it as a vision for reshaping the sector politically and security-wise. The author argues that Israel seeks to end the environment that produces resistance, that the resistance negotiates from a position of tactical loss, and that the real crux is trust in implementing commitments. He concludes that the next phase is a battle of implementation, and success is measured by ending the genocide, ending the occupation, and preserving national strength.
In an opinion article in the Palestine Online newspaper, author Muhammad Ibrahim al-Madhoun provides an analysis of the leaked draft concerning the resistance's weapons in Gaza, considering it not merely a technical clause but a vision for reshaping the sector politically, security-wise, and administratively after the war. The author believes that Israel is not only after the weapons but also seeks to end the environment that produced the resistance, through a new authority, new security apparatuses, and an international force. He points out that the resistance negotiates from a position of tactical loss, not strategic defeat, and that its acceptance to discuss the weapons file does not mean handing them over immediately, but rather turning it into a Palestinian track conditioned on ending the war, withdrawal, and enabling the Palestinian administration. The author posits that the real crux is not the weapons but trust in Israel's implementation of its commitments, based on past experiences. He concludes that the resistance after the war will not be as it was before, that the tools of power constantly change, and that judging the agreement should be based on decisive questions about withdrawal, sequencing, definition of terms, and guarantees. He emphasizes that the next phase is a battle of implementation more than a battle of signing, and success is measured by achieving four goals: ending the genocide, protecting the Palestinian people, ending the occupation, and preserving the components of national strength.
