Mueen Al Taher: Anticipated Trajectories of the Performance of Palestinian Resistance in 2024:
Anticipated Trajectories of the Palestinian Resistance in 2024
A strategic expert anticipates the continuity of the resistance and its effectiveness, as well as a shift towards comprehensive resistance, with the war coming to an end before the end of the year
A strategic and military expert, Mueen al-Taher, anticipates the continued strength and effectiveness of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza Strip in confronting Israeli aggression for many months to come. He stated that the resistance, which Operation al-Aqsa Flood, achieved a “military miracle in the scientific sense of the word.” Al-Taher believes it can maintain a cohesive command and control system in the coming period, efficiently utilizing its weapons and ammunition, alongside dedicated, well-trained resistance fighters. He also suggests that the war is unlikely to continue throughout 2024 for various reasons. Even in the unlikely scenario of the enemy occupying the Strip, the resistance is capable of persisting and inflicting significant losses, albeit with varying tactics. Al-Taher highlighted the possibility of escalating resistance in the West Bank, especially given the increasing Israeli army and settler attacks on Palestinians and their lands.
Al-Taher emphasized that the trajectory of the war’s duration will be determined by the resistance’s performance on the ground, developments in the political situation, the state of Arab and Western public opinion, and the stance of the US administration and the European community.
These insights were shared during a seminar titled “Anticipated Trajectories of the Palestine Issue in 2024 in Light of Operation al-Aqsa Flood,” organized by al-Zaytouna Centre for Studies and Consultations, on 24/1/2024, with the participation of numerous experts in Palestinian affairs.
Al-Taher affirmed that the future of Palestinian resistance should not be solely dependent on Gaza Strip, emphasizing that the upcoming phase will be characterized by comprehensive resistance. This includes escalating military resistance in various forms, popular resistance, resistance against normalization, legal resistance, Arab and Western-level resistance to isolate Israel, and others.
Al-Taher added that one of the encouraging factors for the continuation of this resistance is the revival of the national movement in the Palestinian arena (including those who did not engage in security coordination within the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Fatah movement) to play its role as a participant, counterpart and guardian of the model established during Operation al-Aqsa Flood.
This paper was presented in a seminar, moderated by Prof. Dr. Mohsen Mohammad Saleh, that included eight papers and discussed the anticipated trajectories in 2024 related to Palestinian, Israeli, Arab, Islamic and international affairs.
