'Israel's' attempt to restore deterrence has proven failure: FP
In an opinion piece published in the Foreign Policy news website on May 1, Sajjad Safaei, a postdoc fellow at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, touched on "Israel's" failed deterrence, especially amid the ongoing battles with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, the fighting with Hezbollah, and Iran's retaliatory attack.
Safaei highlighted that since the establishment of the Israeli occupation entity, "no concept has so thoroughly dominated" its strategic imagination as much as deterrence.
He recalled that former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon once said that deterrence was "Israel's" "main weapon—the fear of us," attributing the Palestinian Resistance's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 for "an unprecedented existential urgency" to reestablish Israeli deterrence, which according to the writer, "had been steadily waning since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000."
However, Safaei argued that "Israel's" attempt to restore its deterrence through a war on Gaza and other skirmishes with Hezbollah and Iran has proven a failure for the occupation entity.
"The most basic reason for this failure is that a major military victory, such as decisively crippling Hamas, is still not in sight," he explained, pointing out that the Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip has faced international condemnation, and the Israeli military's notably high casualties there have aggravated previous concerns regarding "the vulnerability of Israel's land forces."
The writer said that "none of this has communicated a message of strength to Israel’s foes—especially not to Hezbollah."
