Gee, you think? The UN is about to proclaim a Palestinian state...we insist on a two state solution and walk all over Israel while they try to survive surrounded by thier enemies...

An all out war is their only answer to a run away disastrous economy.

The Syrians are in no position for war. The Jordanians are not interested in war. The Egyptians could declare war but their armorer is the USA. There is no chance that the the USA will resupply Egypt in time of war with Israel. This means that Egypt would run out of bullets in about 3 days in the event of all out war—nor could they pay for more weapons bullets billeting etc. No doubt the Egyptian military knows this. Nor would they be keen to go to war. Its less likely that the Muslim Brotherhood knows this. They would push for war.

That leaves Hezbollah and Hamas. Hezbollah is not going to go to war as long as Syria does not have their back.

Hamas alone will lob shells over the border. That’s all for now. Plus some demonstrations after the UN does its stuff with Palestinian statehood.

You seem to be forgetting who backs Hezbollah, Syria, and to an extent....Hamas. Iran’s current leadership is fairly interested in Israel’s demise. Maybe not tomorrow or next week, but as soon as they can.

Iran is short on time to bust a major regional move. Their birth rate is far below replacement, signalling difficult days ahead.
