Gaza City offensive driven by Netanyahu's political survival, not strategy: Analysis

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Rob Geist Pinfold, a lecturer in international security, detailed the severe risks for an estimated 200,000 civilians trapped in Gaza City. He described Israel's large-scale military operation as a significant escalation, opposed by its own military leadership. Geist Pinfold argued that Hamas has reverted to an insurgency, with no clear targets left to hit. He suggested the offensive is driven by Netanyahu's political needs rather than strategic benefit. The operation also poses a grave danger to the remaining captives. Ultimately, he concluded that the campaign will drastically worsen the humanitarian crisis.
