Analyst on Israel’s goals and difficulties in invading Gaza

(11 Oct 2023) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS London (by video call) - 11 October 2023 1. SOUNDBITE (English) Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Associate Fellow, International Security Programme, Chatham House: "So far the Israeli government had announced that they will target Hamas is military wing, the Izzedine Kassam, all of their military installations, all of their capabilities and that they and their governing power so that they will no longer be able to govern. So that has been the stated goal thus far. And they have also made it clear that they would not like to invade and rule over 2.2 million Palestinians." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Associate Fellow, International Security Programme, Chatham House: "It's important to mention that over 130 hostages are held in Gaza and a ground incursion, you would assume, is going to try to aim in part to release some of those. We know from past experience that it's a very dangerous operation." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 3. SOUNDBITE (English) Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Associate Fellow, International Security Programme, Chatham House: "The risk is known and a negotiated solution would be far better. A negotiated solution would entail a humanitarian corridor, the release of initially. It would likely to be staggered. It would involve the release of women children, elderly, and as many civilians as possible from Gaza, from the hostages in exchange for the female prisoners and minors held in Israeli prisons, both Islamic Jihad and Hamas." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Associate Fellow, International Security Programme, Chatham House: "The only way out of it is to have a peace process and to involve all the regional actors and key international actors. That's the long term strategy. That's the only exit strategy. There is no exit strategy from an invasion, from a ground invasion in Gaza other than a democratic Palestinian state. So it will be the end of Hamas and everyone who was involved in the Hamas massacre and anyone who supported that should clearly be prosecuted and not be a part of the government. But it's a chance to give the Palestinians a chance to elect a democratic to have elections and elect a democratic government that will negotiate peace with the support of all the key international actors in the region." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Associate Fellow, International Security Programme, Chatham House: "The blueprint for an agreement is the Arab Peace Initiative, based on the 1967 border. It's well known to all the parties. Hamas are against it. Fatah are not. Palestinians need to be able to have a state that can govern, and at the moment, they just simply do not." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 6. SOUNDBITE (English) Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Associate Fellow, International Security Programme, Chatham House: "Longer term, it's too early to say, longer, long term, very long term. It's the medium to long term. It is the only way forward. Israel cannot rule over the Palestinian people forever. It's already been far too long. So the occupation has to end and there have to be international security guarantees both by Arab nations in the region and by Western nations." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 7.
