Deep dives
Israel's emotional response to attacks from Hamas
Israel's response to the attacks from Hamas was driven by emotions, pride, and ego, rather than being compartmentalized. This emotional response could have been avoided by delaying the reaction and strategizing a more viable option. Adversaries take advantage of this ongoing confrontation between Israel and Palestine.
The coordinated surprise attack of Hamas
Hamas launched a coordinated surprise attack on Israel, which involved crossing the border from Gaza, kidnapping Israelis, and launching thousands of rockets. This attack was planned, mature, and well-executed, as Hamas was able to cross through holes blasted in the wall and hijack Israeli defense force weaponry.
The goals and backers of Hamas
The goal of Hamas's attack and the support of their backers, such as Iran, goes beyond territorial gain. It serves as an opportunity for Iran to upset Israel's relations with Arab countries and drive a wedge between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Iran benefits from a fractured Middle East and increased influence.
The frustrations and dangers of the ongoing conflict
The emotional response of Israel, the manipulation by external forces, and the inability to reach a resolution contribute to the ongoing conflict's frustrations and dangers. The conflict does not have a winner, but rather continues to cause suffering for both Israelis and Palestinians. It is crucial to understand the external factors influencing this conflict and the vulnerabilities that exist on both sides.
The Hamas incursion into Israel shocked the world, but Israel's response did not. The humanitarian crisis developing in Gaza with each passing day is already capturing the attention of the world within days of the surprise attack. And what comes next is both sad and predictable, in much the same way as Netanyahu's response to the original attack was both sad and predictable.
