During his appearance, Dr. Uçar made strong statements, asserting that Israel had employed inhumane methods in its efforts to compel the surrender of the Palestinian people. Dr. Uçar went on to categorize these actions as "crimes against humanity" and expressed concern that they could lead to genocide.
Uçar made several assertions regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, outlining what he believes is Israel's plan:
"This is an operation aimed at achieving the 'complete surrender' of the entire population. It constitutes a grave crime against humanity, one that could lead to genocide. Israel's ultimate objective with this operation appears to be the complete occupation and annexation of the West Bank.
Subsequently, there's Gaza; they aim to annex Gaza, not merely occupy it but fully add it to their territory, similar to what they did with the Golan Heights. Furthermore, they intend to alter the status quo in the West Bank. Their plan includes the evacuation of the population in Gaza. They may utilize the Rafah Gate or evacuate via sea routes. It appears that the Palestinian people are resolute about remaining in their homes.
Why is Israel pursuing this course of action? It seems to be preparing for a land operation following the evacuation of the area. However, conducting such an operation at present is fraught with difficulties. A land operation would require moving Israeli forces out of residential areas, which could allow Hamas to enter Israel, resulting in significant damage.
To execute a land operation, civilians in the region must first be evacuated. Following that, an intensive bombardment campaign would be carried out. With civilians out of harm's way, only Hamas members would be targeted from afar, utilizing ground and aerial assets, at every visible point. Israel appears to be in the process of creating conditions conducive to a land operation. The initial operation would be directed at Gaza. Once all is said and done, Jewish settlers would be established. This, I believe, is Israel's plan."
