Hamas assumes more moderate positions
Hamas
tries to have a new face and a new, more moderate set-up, to get rid of
the identification with the most extreme positions of Islam and to try
to find a new ground for understanding with Israel. Hamas's
position so far has been the most intransigent to the Israeli state,
often far behind and contrary to the President of the Palestinian
Authority, Abbas; This was the source of division between the two main components, which constitute the movement for the release of Palestine. Hamas's
extremism has developed, both conceptually and practically, by adopting
an uncompromising strategy towards Israel, in honor of the truth
sometimes justified by the attitude of Tel Aviv, which has always been
marked by the denial of the right to exist Israeli state and the adoption of a military way to try to resolve the issue. Tel
Aviv imputes to Hamas the repeated launch of rockets to its territory
and the adoption of a guerrilla warfare by the advanced use of tunnels,
which Hamas uses, both to introduce terrorists and to allow supplies to
the strip Of Gaza, for years subject to sanctions and isolation from Tel Aviv. The
first decision approved by Hamas is to stop relations with the Muslim
Brothers, especially invisible to the Egyptian government, to recover
relations with Cairo; This
decision implies a renunciation of an ally identified with Muslim
integralism and has the dual value of trying to free the Palestinian
issue from religious influx, along with gaining the favor of Egyptian
authorities for both tactical and proximity reasons And finally for the friendship that binds the Egyptian and Israeli governments; In
this respect, Cairo could help the Palestinian cause, also gaining
international visibility, capable of breaking off the isolation that its
dictatorial conduct caused to the international community. Breaking
relationships with Muslim Brotherhood is only the first act, of a more
moderate attitude, through which to present itself to the world. Hamas
thus comes to the recognition, for the time being, of an Israeli state
as close to a Palestinian state within the limits set by the 1967
Treaty. This is an absolute novelty for a movement that has always
maintained Palestinian integrity from the Jordan to the sea. Hamas
also comes to distinguish the Jewish religious community from the
Zionist occupation of Palestine, which is an absolute novelty in the
vision of the organization governing the Gaza Strip. Certainly,
for Israel, these are openings that are not enough and that Tel Aviv
has already condemned it as untrustworthy, but Hamas's opening would
deserve a deepening, especially if it was to resolve the matter without
delay. It
is also important and important that these novelties come just in the
eve of when the President of the Palestinian Authority, Abbas, will meet
with US President Trump in Washington. The
new White House tenant has been sympathetic to Israel in the election
campaign, but not quite one-of-a-kind and could be credited with
achieving the Palestinian-Israeli question would increase its
international prestige; The
fact that Abbas brings, as a dowry to the meeting, the will of Hamas's
more moderate positions, could facilitate the talks and allow the US to
adopt a more resolute attitude in favor of the solution of the two
states. Hamas's
change puts Israel in a difficult situation, as it becomes an
additional element to foster dialogue between the two sides and that Tel
Aviv will not be able to continue to ignore it with circumstantial
justifications. If
the natural distrust is normal, the international audience will not be
able to accept any attitude contrary to the resolution of the issue,
such as the desire to build other settlements on Palestinian territory. Tel
Aviv is likely to go against any possibility of pacification with the
Palestinians in an obvious and overly obvious manner, even for an
American administration like the present one, which has quickly become
well-disposed towards Israel. Now,
it will be necessary to check with what attitude Trump will face talks
with Abbas, if there will be positive shots Israel will not be able to
ignore it and still lag to procrastinate a solution only when it will
only benefit Tel Aviv.
