If you do research, there are many opinions attempting to answer your question. None of them however predict a certain outcome.I read it and understood. Now can you answer my question? I think it was Dale Carnegie that said that discouragement and failure are two stepping stones to success. Do you have any ideas as to what Isreal should do if at some point it appears that Hamas is not going to surrender or go away? It wouldn’t necessarily mean failure on their part, they’ve made significant gains in the area, but sometimes that last mile is a son of a gun.
Forget the flag, this isn’t war, just conversation.
You won’t like my opinion, and it is only an opinion, I sure do not have a crystal ball.
Hamas has the trump card of using human shields, and hostages. Once humanitarian aid is passed on from the IDF, it is controlled by Hamas. The international community, including yourself and two others here on the board are highly critical of the IDF, when it comes to civilian deaths and suffering. While the US supports Israel, the current Administration is also highly critical of the civilian toll in Gaza. This scenario presents the IDF with an enormous challenge. Our current Administration is soft on Iran, who is really the root cause of the problem, via their proxies attacking Israel from multiple fronts. This presents Israel with another challenge.
So where do I think this will go?
We know that Kamala is not a supporter of BB. There is no doubt about that. We also know that Trump and BB have a very good relationship.
The outcome of our elections in a few days, will be a deciding factor on when and how this war ends. A Republican Administration will be much tougher on Iran and less critical of Israel, giving them more freedom. The war will end sooner than later. With Kamala in the Whitehouse, the war will continue for much longer. Israel won’t give up, they will continue until this is over, for however long it takes. Unfortunately, both scenarios will result in an immense human toll.
