Sounds like a tactical pause allowing the Israelis to refit and recharge. Gives Beelzebub Biden something to brag about.

[Hamas immediately declared the IDF withdrawal, even partial, a victory for sticking to its position of demanding IDF withdrawals, including of troops in northern Gaza.]

Well.......of course they did.

Now Joe has more street cred with Hamas.

“Sounds like a tactical pause allowing the Israelis to refit and recharge.”

Agree.

[hardspunned]

Ever think that maybe Netanyahu realizes he can’t beat Hamas and that the world will not sit by and allow the genocide to be completed? Perhaps Bibi realizes he’s bitten off more than he can chew and is trying to cut a deal before he has to deal with Hezbollah, Iran and Mr. Backstab, Joe Biden at the same time.

Don’t forget, the Oct. 7 terrorist rampage broke a ‘cease fire’

Israel lost the war in the city of Washington Dc. Israel will not be mocked—the Mossad will take its revenge on the Democratic extremists. Never Again!

Israel also developed a new strategy. They spent over a week clearing out Shifa Hospital after they cleared it out early in the war. They use drones to track terrorist movements. Let one live; he leads them to others. The unusual activity around Shifa meant the terrorists moved back in. They waited, and when they attacked, they killed a lot of terrorists and captured some high-level prisoners. Those people gave them even more intel on HAMAS in the Khan Yunis area.

Yes, I believe it is also a chance to rest and recharge. The remaining four HAMAS battalions cannot be allowed to survive, or HAMAS will take control of Gaza again. There is also a need to relocate some terrorist enablers and their future terrorist children out of Rafah before the IDF goes in.

Make the UN get off its a$$ and build refugee camps in the north of Gaza and on the West Bank: women and children only, no men under the age of 70. Move the non-combatant males to a separate Israeli-run camp outside Rafah, like in the area where the Greenhouses used to be. Then, they hit Rafah with everything the IDF has, take above-ground control quickly, and then battle underground.

Politically, Netanyahu is dead; he was the PM for the worst attack in Israel's history. His opposition may be in trouble as well. The investigation of what went wrong goes back to the previous administration. Until this war is over, they need a tough leader; when it is over, they will need someone just as hardline against the Palestinians. Just not Netanyahu or the previous PM.

They better hit Rafah fast, that window is just about closed.

[pollywog]

exactly!!! This isn’t a “ surrender now” withdrawal as the writing would tend us to believe, but rather a PAUSE , regroup , and for now focus on Rafah!
Reading daily the BeholdIsrael.org account gives a clear focus.
