Israel's Goals in the War on Gaza
Israel's government, led by an extremist coalition, aims to level and reoccupy Gaza. However, it is unclear how they will address the needs of the people, such as social services and housing. The Israeli left anxiously awaits to see how this will unfold. The United States is unlikely to intervene. The majority of Israelis support the resumption of the offensive, although there are still those who identify as progressives and left-leaning but support the war.
