International law professor Rائد أبو بدوية told Shehab Wire that recent Israeli military operations in Gaza are designed to secure electoral gains for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the coming Israeli elections. The strikes represent an attempt to obstruct peace negotiations, according to the professor of international law and international relations.
Abو Badawiya characterized the latest raids and military operations carried out by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip as a calculated political maneuver. He argued the timing and scale of the strikes reflect Netanyahu's domestic political calculations rather than responses to specific security threats. The professor said the operations aim simultaneously to bolster the prime minister's standing among voters and to undermine efforts toward a ceasefire agreement.
