The conventional understanding of the war in Gaza is that it takes place exclusively in a spatial place, yet its temporal dimension is yet to be investigated.
- Israel loses legitimacy as times passes by in the war and Hamas sees this as a very strong reason for continuing the war.
- Hamas wins international legitimacy by participating in indirect negotiations with Israel while perpetuating the war.
- Israel wins time for continuing the war by participating in indirect negotiations with Hamas, knowing full well that Hamas has no interest whatsoever in an agreement.
- Hamas believes that time is on its side in the belligerencies in Gaza and and that Israel ultimately will be forced to unconditional surrender in Gaza.
- Israel believes that time is on its side in the belligerencies in Gaza and that Israel with time will emerge victorious, time will give total victory.
- Everybody likes a winner; winning in Gaza will make Israel popular internationally reasons Israel.
- The war in Gaza is just a prelude to the Northern War in Syria and Lebanon.
A temporal analysis offer much different results than a spatial one in the Gaza theater.
