Afrasianet - Raed Salha - The Israeli occupation army is fully dependent on American support in its bloody war on the Gaza Strip, according to the confessions of senior Israeli military officials. Retired General Yitzhak Brick confirmed that "all the munitions and precision-guided aircraft used by the army come from the United States," adding that "once this support stops, Israel cannot continue the war."
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert stressed that the Israeli Air Force "relies entirely on American equipment," stressing that Israel does not have Any other reliable source of advanced weapons and ammunition is a reliable source of supply.
The U.S. president has, with a single decision, the ability to end the war, which the Israelis clearly understand. In this context, six former Israeli prisoners and the widow of one of the prisoners posted a video in English in which they appealed to President Donald Trump to support a comprehensive agreement to achieve peace in Gaza and release the remaining prisoners, stressing that he has the ability to "make history, end the suffering and return all prisoners to their homes."
Only the American president can stop the massacres by ending military support for Israel. Experts point out that many Americans mistakenly believe that the war is an "Israeli war" over which Washington has no power, while the reality shows that ending the American intervention alone can stop the mass killing in Gaza.
Israel has called up some 60,000 reservists in preparation for a possible invasion of the Gaza Strip, knowing that the White House is not imposing any red lines on Tel Aviv, but is seeking a quick resolution that would open the door to broader regional peace deals. This shift in attitude represents a clear contrast to Trump's statements last July, when he expressed sympathy for Palestinian civilians and contradicted Netanyahu's denial of the spread of famine, saying he had seen images of children "looking very hungry."
Analysts point out that any European pressure on Israel, such as the recent positions of France and Australia, increases the White House's resolve to support Netanyahu, and aims to achieve a "decisive victory" in Gaza that enables a rapid transition to broader regional negotiations. The goal of Israeli operations has become ambiguous, according to many U.S. analysts, as the goal of freeing hostages contrasts with the quest to eliminate Hamas or permanent control of Gaza, perpetuating the war and prolonging Palestinian suffering.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is deteriorating dramatically, while Israel is deepening its international isolation. Writer Jeffrey D. Sacks pointed out that the continuation of the massacres undermines any horizon for a two-state solution and weakens the chances for peace, explaining that the Israeli government adopts a policy of deliberate starvation of the Palestinians, which can be considered evidence of a deliberate intention to commit genocide according to international law.
Polls in the United States showed clear shifts, with 58 percent of Americans supporting recognition of the state of Palestine compared to only 32 percent opposed, reflecting declining public support for traditional Israeli policies U.S. analysts propose a range of practical solutions to alleviate suffering: boosting the flow of humanitarian aid, engaging Arab states to ensure the final removal of Hamas fighters and the safe reconstruction of Gaza, and directing Israel's strategy to ensure a workable political settlement, which could prevent the Gaza tragedy from being extended to 2026.
Direct dialogue with Netanyahu, meeting with the Israeli military leadership to provide a realistic assessment of operations, negotiating a comprehensive hostage deal with active international mediation participation, and pressuring Hamas to accept a quick settlement, which could halt the continuation of the massacres and mitigate the accelerated humanitarian deterioration.
It provides an opportunity for peace and restores hope to the people of Gaza under stable and secure humanitarian conditions.
