Israel doing ‘same song and dance’ on prospects of permanent end to war: Analysis

Mohamed Elmasry, a professor of media studies at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says Netanyahu’s conditions for a permanent end to the war on Gaza highlight the fact that he does not really want to end the Israeli assault. As we’ve been reporting, the Israeli prime minister has said Hamas must lay down its weapons and no longer have “governing or military capabilities” if Israel is to agree to end the fighting. “What that means is he wants Hamas leaders to give up all of their arms and he wants them to go into exile. That’s obviously a nonstarter. That would end – effectively – Palestinian resistance, and that’s what the Israelis want,” Elmasry told Al Jazeera.
