If Israel enters Rafah Egypt would consider it an abrogation of the Camp David accords. Hezbollah has hinted that entering Rafah might compel them to directly intervene. Turkey’s Erdogan will be pressured by its populace to do something. Jordan’s populace is growing increasingly restless. Israel is going to bite off more than it can chew, and the US has insufficient military assets in place to make much of a difference. That’s not even counting world opinion which is already decidedly against Israel calling it a genocide. Israel can do what it wants but it better be prepared to accept the consequences which could very well be catastrophic. These war hawks are all out of their minds as far as I am concerned.
Israel is at war, against HAMAS who orchestrated a surprise attack on Israel.
That began on a day to be remembered, October 7, 2023.
It is war. Not a “police action.” Not a “special military operation.”
So, if you are Turkey, or Egypt, or Jordan, or Syria, or Hezbollah . . . or Joe Biden . . . try to not get too wound up and “feel lucky.”
“These war hawks are all out of their minds as far as I am concerned.”
I feel the same way about you. Insanity would be allowing even the smallest remnants of Hamas to survive. The Gazans have proven over and over again that they will never make peace with Israel.
Wiping them out entirely would be doing the entire world a huge favor.

Egypt can already argue Camp David Accords are toast if it wants to. It’s mostly worried about what will flow into its border. The rest of the developments being predicted and extrapolated read like a novel back synopsis. But the one thing that’s certain is if Israel is timid about Rafah during this test, Hamas and every other keffiyeh donning gang will flourish into an impervious fortress of terror against Israel. The only alternative to a ground war in Rafah is not surrender but a cooperative multinational cleanup operation over a period of years.
