Le général Giora Eiland, ancien chef du Conseil de sécurité nationale et l’un des architectes du désengagement israélien de Gaza en 2005, désormais consultant, estime que deux approches sont possibles : « Premièrement, une grande opération au sol. Si on veut tuer les combattants du Hamas, il va falloir aller les chercher dans les tunnels. Ce sera M16 contre AK47, et nous allons perdre des hommes. Il y aura aussi beaucoup de victimes civiles. Alternativement, il faut évacuer toute la zone et organiser un siège. Cela prendra des semaines, peut-être des mois. Mais on n’a pas besoin d’un gros contingent pour cela. Ce n’est pas idéal, mais nous n’avons le choix qu’entre de mauvaises alternatives. Seule certitude : à la fin de cette guerre, le Hamas en tant qu’entité doit avoir cessé d’exister. »
 
« Cette guerre, en réalité, est impossible à gagner si on la pense seulement en termes militaires, se désole Yagil Levy. Il nous faut tout de suite réfléchir à l’après-Hamas, sinon, tout cela n’aura servi à rien. » Dans un pays sous le choc, ces mots sont rares, à peine audibles. Mais il est des voix qui s’élèvent, comme celles du général Yaïr Golan. Ce dernier, ancien député du Meretz (gauche sioniste), a été qualifié au cours des derniers mois de « traître » par l’extrême droite israélienne pour son engagement contre la réforme judiciaire menée par le gouvernement Nétanyahou. Il fait figure à présent de héros pour avoir sauvé des vies le 7 octobre. « Nous devons définir les objectifs du conflit avec précision, mais aussi définir nos objectifs pour l’après-conflit. Où allons-nous ? Comment allons-nous réinventer une façon de vivre ensemble avec les Palestiniens ? C’est le moment de réfléchir à notre propre destin », explique-t-il.

Addressing a situation where there are 30,000 terrorists among a population of 2 million people in a city requires a delicate and strategic approach to minimize harm to civilians. Here are several steps that could be considered:
 
    Intelligence Gathering:
        Invest heavily in intelligence gathering to identify the locations, networks, and activities of the terrorists.
        Leverage technology, informants, and other sources to understand the structure and hierarchy of the terrorist groups.
 
    Surveillance:
        Use advanced surveillance methods to monitor the movements and activities of suspected terrorists.
        Employ drones, satellite imagery, and other technological tools to track individuals and groups.
 
    Undercover Operations:
        Deploy undercover agents within the city to gather information from within the terrorist groups.
        Infiltrate the networks to gain insights into their plans and identify key figures.
 
    Selective Arrests:
        Conduct targeted arrests based on verified intelligence to apprehend specific individuals involved in terrorism.
        Minimize the use of force during arrests to avoid collateral damage.
 
    Community Engagement:
        Work with local communities to gather information and foster cooperation.
        Establish trust through community policing initiatives and encourage citizens to report suspicious activities.
 
    International Cooperation:
        Collaborate with intelligence agencies and security forces from other nations to gather information and resources.
        Share intelligence and coordinate efforts to combat transnational terrorist threats.
 
    Strategic Raids:
        Plan and execute well-coordinated raids on identified terrorist hideouts.
        Ensure precision and accuracy to minimize the risk to civilians.
 
    Non-lethal Tactics:
        Utilize non-lethal weapons and tactics whenever possible to incapacitate terrorists without causing harm to civilians.
        Employ technologies such as stun grenades, tear gas, and other crowd control measures.
 
    Safe Zones for Civilians:
        Establish safe zones or evacuation routes for civilians to reduce the risk of harm during operations.
        Communicate effectively with the population to ensure their safety and cooperation.
 
    Media and Information Campaigns:
        Use media and information campaigns to educate the public about the threat of terrorism and the importance of cooperation.
        Discredit terrorist propaganda to weaken their influence.
 
    Rehabilitation Programs:
        Develop programs to rehabilitate individuals who may have been influenced by extremist ideologies.
        Offer opportunities for education and reintegration into society.
 
    Legal Measures:
        Strengthen legal frameworks to prosecute terrorists while ensuring fair trials.
        Implement measures to prevent radicalization and recruitment.
 
It's crucial to emphasize that military and security operations must be conducted with utmost respect for human rights, international law, and ethical considerations. A comprehensive and multidimensional strategy involving intelligence, law enforcement, community engagement, and international collaboration is essential to effectively combat terrorism while minimizing harm to civilians.

Although Palestinians constitute around half of the population, they remain vastly under-represented in Jordanian government. Nine of the 55 Senators appointed by the king are Palestinian, and in the 110-seat Chamber of Deputies, Palestinians have only 18 seats. Of Jordan's 12 governates, none are led by Palestinians.
 
Discrimination against Palestinians in private and state-sector employment remains common and a quota system limits the number of university admissions for Palestinian youth.
 
Government security operations disproportionately target Palestinians, especially operations conducted in the name of fighting terror. Amnesty International reported in July 2006 that Jordanian security services were more likely to torture detainees if they were Palestinian.

House Foreign Affairs Committee drafting legislation authorizing military force if Israel-Hamas conflict expands
 
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul told CNN Monday that his committee is drafting legislation “in the event it’s necessary” to authorize US military force if the current conflict between Israel and Hamas broadens into a wider proxy war with Iran.
 
"I hope I never have to mark this bill up. But we have a situation in the Middle East that’s growing day by day with intensity and if Hezbollah gets involved, Iran has already threatened if Gaza is, you know, if Israel goes, you know, if IDF (Israel Defense Forces) goes into Gaza that they're gonna come out,” he told CNN.  
The revelation that his committee is crafting draft legislation — known as an Authorization of Use for Military Force — comes as President Joe Biden prepares to travel to the region later this week and is the latest indication that the US government is deeply concerned over how the current crisis could broaden in a way that might require a US military response.  
 
The US military ordered a second carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean as well as Air Force fighter jets to the region as part of US efforts to deter Iran and its proxies from expanding the conflict.  
 
McCaul was careful not to say whether the White House had specifically asked for such an authorization, telling reporters: "I don't want to confirm that. It's just that there is concern that — we, I'm currently, we're currently drafting one in the event it's necessary."
 
When asked by CNN what this potential authorization might entail, McCaul said: “I'd prefer not to put Iran as a nation state in there. It would be more Iran proxies, you know, like Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran-backed Shi’ia militias, but if Iran gets directly involved, then we would have to put them on the list."

Des sources médicales à Gaza ont rapporté que 14 personnes ont été tuées et plusieurs autres blessées lors d'une frappe aérienne sur la maison de la famille Haniyeh dans le quartier de Sheikh Radwan à Gaza. Selon le rapport, parmi les victimes se trouvent également le frère et le neveu du dirigeant du Hamas, Ismaïl Haniyeh.
