Prof. Kobi Michael: The entire Israeli strategy is totally different from what we knew before. It’s not a question of being aggressive. It’s a question of being much more determined and understanding that enough is enough and we don’t have to tolerate this situation. If before Oct. 7, the Israeli strategy was to create change of a first order—which means to accept the existing system and try to make changes to the existing system—now the strategy is to create change of a second order, which means to change the entire system, to change the rules of the game, to change the existing balance of power.
In this regard there is also an opportunity to change the situation of the Palestinian refugees on the ground.
