Netanyahu apparently is determined to expand this into a regional war. Actually I think he planned this all along and the stand down on Oct7 was intentional. He thought he’d go down in Israeli history as the person who cleared out Gaza, but I don’t think it’s gonna turn out that way. A regional wars means the end of Israel and the US most likely ejected from that region altogether.
People on here are overestimating the military strength of Israel and the US. A regional war will be catastrophic for everyone involved. The US doesn’t have anywhere near the military assets necessary deployed over there to rescue Israel if the region ignites against it.
Most Arab countries quietly want Hamas gone.
