Analyst: Gaza remarks linked to elections

Political analyst Moaid Abu Shamalah stated that the Israeli claims about carrying out a ground operation in Gaza are motivated by the upcoming 2026 elections and are not based on real grounds on the ground. He explained that using paper balloons as a pretext for escalation is unrealistic, and the previous justifications regarding Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip no longer hold after their release. He added that security concerns about the Gaza Envelope are not supported by concrete field indicators. Abu Shamalah noted that Israel is trying, through these statements, to promote unacceptable military plans, especially amid tensions with Iran and regional developments. Some Israeli figures are distancing themselves from the Geneva understandings to win public opinion before the elections. Meanwhile, the occupation government is delaying the implementation of the second phase of Trump's plan in Gaza due to electoral calculations and internal changes. Abu Shamalah pointed out that the occupation faces multiple fronts in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza, with ongoing control and assassinations happening without any clear political gains.
