Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans on appointing former British prime minister Tony Blair as a humanitarian coordinator in Gaza in an effort to improve the humanitarian situation in the Strip, Israeli news website Ynet reported citing anonymous senior Israeli officials.
Netanyahu's line of reasoning is that he wants to leverage Blair's experience as a former envoy to the Middle East Quartet (international supervisors of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process) in an effort to mitigate increasing international concerns.
The report indicated that Blair has been contacted on the matter and talks have been ongoing in recent weeks.
The Times of Israel reports that both the Israeli military and the Israeli Security Ministry recognize that to sustain the aggression against Gaza till the end, the war needs to be seen as legitimate, and that legitimacy is predicated on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Instead of meeting the popular and international demands for a ceasefire to end the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, Netanyahu elected to appoint an official experienced in inflicting catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Saturday that the Israeli occupation's invasion of Gaza would continue to rage on at "full force" as battles continue to escalate and Israeli losses mount.
Speaking during a televised speech, Netanyahu underlined that any prospected ceasefire depended on the release of all 239 captives still with Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza despite his IOF having already killed numerous captives in their brutal, indiscriminate airstrikes.
"The war against them is advancing with full force, and it has one goal, to win. There is no alternative to victory," Netanyahu said as the invading Israeli forces seemed to be suffering in the close-quarter modern combat they were forced into while facing off against the Palestinian Resistance.
Comment: A match made in Sheol. Although, if goes ahead, it shouldn't be so surprising, after all, lest we forget that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, despite launching airstrikes or military raids on at least 7 countries.
However, whilst the general public may have let this fly 10 years ago, with an increasing majority of people on the planet already in uproar over Israel's genocide in Gaza, it's possible that a move such as this will only further expose the pathological nature of those running Israel, as well as highlight how Tony Blair has yet to face justice for his crimes.
It may be that the leadership is oblivious, meanwhile it may be that some actually want to make the situation even more volatile.
