Deep dives
Israel preparing for a war to eliminate Hamas from Gaza
After the recent attack by Hamas, Israel is preparing for a war to permanently remove Hamas from Gaza. In the past few days, Israel has cleared out terrorists from its territory and mobilized at the border. They are determined to stand against evil and ensure the safety of the Jewish people. Iran's involvement in the attack is widely acknowledged, as both Hamas and Iran themselves have claimed responsibility. While Hezbollah's presence at the Israel-Lebanon border raises concerns, Israel hopes they will be deterred from joining the conflict.
Expectations of strong support for Israel and the unity government's role
American support for Israel remains solid, as Americans remember their history of fighting against oppression and stand with Israel in this critical time. The unity government formed by Prime Minister Netanyahu and his rival Benny Gantz serves the purpose of conducting a successful and efficient war against Hamas. Once the conflict with Hamas is resolved, it is expected that the government will no longer be necessary. The US is urging Qatar to hand over Hamas leaders, who are believed to be living luxuriously in the country. The political divide within Israel has diminished, as the nation unites against Hamas and their goal of eradicating hate.
