At the beginning of his remarks, he said that "this decision should testify to the level of seriousness of the Netanyahu government to stop, in practice, the bloodshed and the humanitarian disaster that the world has been facing since October 7. The far-right government wants to eliminate the Palestinian issue and definitively eliminate any future in which the The two-state solution".
"Continued destruction and losses will not allow a future of peace, but the opposite," Kandil added. "He will establish hatred and violence, and this is the danger that the world seems to have begun to pay attention to. We have seen this in the student demonstrations at universities in the US and their spread to many capital cities in the West in recent times, and we have also seen it in Israel, where they demanded that the current government show seriousness in reaching a deal that would lead to the release of the kidnapped in the hands of Hamas."
He concluded his remarks by saying that "any military action in the near future will threaten the lives of these abductees, because entry into Rafah by the Israeli forces will prevent the possibility of their return.

This is the dream that Netanyahu seems to be betting on now in order to stay in power as long as possible."
