Abstract
Netanyahu's goal of “total victory” and “eliminating Hamas” is unrealistic. Hamas is a part of the Palestinian body‐politic and it has meaningful, though not majority, support within Palestinian society. There is an Israeli, American, and general Arab consensus that a condition for the rehabilitation of Gaza's future is that Hamas will not be in political control of Gaza. And the Hamas leaders, understanding that no‐one will pay for the reconstruction of Gaza unless they step aside, have agreed to the idea of a technocratic government in association with the Palestinian Authority, though they have not agreed to lay down their arms. While neither Israelis nor Palestinians today can see a horizon that contains a peaceful resolution of the conflict, we have no choice but to seek a solution. 内塔尼亚胡“全面胜利”和“消灭哈马斯”的目标是不切实际的。哈马斯是巴勒斯坦政治体的一部分, 它在巴勒斯坦社会中拥有实质性的支持, 尽管并非多数。以色列、美国和阿拉伯世界普遍认为, 重建加沙未来的一个条件是哈马斯不能对加沙进行政治控制。哈马斯领导人明白, 除非他们下台, 否则没有人会为加沙的重建买单, 因此他们同意与巴勒斯坦权力机构联合建立一个技术官僚政府, 尽管他们尚未同意放下武器。尽管如今以色列人和巴勒斯坦人都看不到和平解决冲突的前景, 但我们别无选择, 只能寻求解决方案。 El objetivo de Netanyahu de una “victoria total” y la “eliminación de Hamás” es irrealista. Hamás forma parte del cuerpo político palestino y cuenta con un apoyo significativo, aunque no mayoritario, dentro de la sociedad palestina. Existe un consenso israelí, estadounidense y árabe en general de que una condición para la rehabilitación del futuro de Gaza es que Hamás no tenga el control político de la misma. Y los líderes de Hamás, entendiendo que nadie financiará la reconstrucción de Gaza a menos que se hagan a un lado, han aceptado la idea de un gobierno tecnocrático en asociación con la Autoridad Palestina, aunque no han acordado deponer las armas. Si bien ni israelíes ni palestinos pueden vislumbrar un horizonte que contenga una resolución pacífica del conflicto, no tenemos más opción que buscar una solución.
