WriterNigg: ⚡🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia ends "all negotiations" on normalisation with Israel.
Saudi Arabia has informed the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, that it is "ending all negotiations" on normalising relations with Israel, reports the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post, echoed by the Saudi media outlet The Saudi Post, published in the 🇺🇸 United States. I suspected that this is one of the underlying motive for the current war between Hamas and Israel. Hamas is just a tool that some elements are using to make sure that some nations in the Arab world don't have a cordial relation with Israel because it would be bad for business. Just like they did with refusing Russia to join NATO, so do they need a boogie in the Middle East vis-a-vis Israel and the nations around it. |

Floky215: Bro..they have fought war on multiple fronts with Arab nations combined before and not new to them...infact military equipments already moved to the nother border and also small exchange of fire with Hezbollah...!!
Israel jets have been flying over southern Lebanon and holding their tuff...If Hezbollah so wish to join, they can nobody is holding them back..!! The Yum Kippur war of the 70s shouldn't been compared to what is at stakes today. This is the 21st century where state and non state actors now have access to high end technology that bridges the gap between friends and foes. Just Hamas 3 days gripe and Israel is already asking the US for military aid to replenish their stock that have run out. Imagined if Hamas had SAMs that can take out IDF planes, or have their own aerier assets that can inflict pain...all of which Hezbollah has....ballistic and long range cruise missiles that can reach anywhere in Israel. My brother, you should be grateful that Israel has the US as a backer otherwise, it would have ceased to exist by now. Hezbollah gave Israel a bloody nose in 2006, and this same Hezbollah has since grown in numbers and capabilities because it's easier to get sophisticated tech today than before. No thanks to the black markets like Ukraine and co, vis-a-vis the relentless support from Iran that is highly advanced in weaponry. While Israel can fight and possess the capability to fight, it lacks the manpower and territory to shield itself enough from the enemy's equally high-end attacks. It is this fear of Hezbollah and possible threat from other non-state actors that has made the US to send its carrier group to the Med now. If Hezbollah joins this fight right now, what happened in 2006 would look like child's play. |

Mossadd: don't you think Iran will join if US intervene directly? Iran won't join directly because it would instantly result in a full blown regional war. Moreover, if the US would join, it would only be via aviation strike support for Israel and stand off long range missile strikes from their carrier group ships deep in the sea in the Med. Anything that makes US commit boots on ground would result in catastrophic for the Dems and the US economy. On this note, the Iranian support would also be limited to intelligence, armament and cash support for Hamas, subject to if Hezbollah enters the fight. The situation is very fragile now. |

If there are attempts by Iranian proxies to act, it may lead to a 🇺🇸 U.S. attack. This is what I have been saying...if Hezbollah acted overtly, the US will get involve directly because Israel cannot handle multiple fronts at a go. Hezbollah is more sophisticated than Hamas 50 times over. |

Stoplying: Hamas, I surely hope they are not attacking civilians contrary to what Israeli propaganda is saying. Attacking civilians is terrorism, and Israel and Ukraine are often guilty of that. Hamas fit the terrorist tag because it is deliberately attacking civilians. But come to think of it, who does t kill civilians these days? The US bombed wedding parties in Afgjan, the IDF is trigger happy killing stone throwing children and women in Gaza, and Russian bombing of Aleppo hardly discriminate against terrorist and civies. So, they all have been killing civilians either way. It's ordinary people that suffers most in wars. |

seunny4lif: Which what everyone has been waiting since same USA have been saying what Russia is doing is bad.
If USA got involved then Gulf nations will support and finance Hezbollah for the first time, it will be seeing as crusaders war. Gulf nations will crash oil price. The US has already anticipated this direction, hence it recent warnings to golf nations not to take advantage of the ensuing situation between Hamas and Israel. But if Hezbollah made good its threat to intervene should Israel conduct a ground operation into Gaza (which is now 100 percent likely), the US would be forced to act because nations like Iran and Qatar would back Hezbollah in cash and kind, and we know Hezbollah is much stronger and advanced militarily than all other groups in the region. |

Watcharena: Hezbollah is not a national army ,US can't not join,they don't know they don't know where they're If Hezbolla join the fight, it would open doors for other militant groups to join and drive many of the Middle East Arab countries to back them in cash and kind, which is something Israel cannot handle on its own. Multiple frontlines would be too much for them. And CENTCOM will have to intervene at some point especially to discourage the arab nations from entering the fray. Biden have already said this few hours ago. One thing that so many people misjudge about Israel is this: while Israel is militarily and technologically advanced, they have very limited manpower that they can deploy in the face of large scale offensive and defensive maneuvers across multiple fronts. They don't just have that manpower advantage and resource advantage like you see Russia doing against Ukraine in the face of western nations massive military and financial resource pouring in against Moscow. If not for the US support, Israel would have cease to be a state by now. |

Shoodboi: I'm being generous when I say uncoordinated. A better word is "nonexistent". I've seen videos of Israeli soldiers getting captured after their tank was destroyed. I've seen another one of several fully kitted Israeli soldiers getting captured and another of Israeli soldiers getting killed by bombs dropped from a drone.
I saw another video of Israel soldiers fleeing from their positions. One even fell as he escaped. Then there are series of videos of Hamas capturing tanks and other armored vehicles from multiple Israeli military bases.
Israel has always relied on iron dome and troops stationed around the border for its defense. Now, Hamas has used electronic warfare to disable the iron dome. It worked so well Hamas fired 5,000 rockets and there's not a single video of the iron dome intercepting them. In the past, those sorts of videos would have been posted on Twitter and YouTube.
As for the troops at the border, Hamas bypassed them using tunnels and paragliders, catching them unaware and cutting them from their supply lines. Then it launched a massive ground assault across the borders. They had to flee before they were surrounded, leading them to abandon their vehicles and bases. The ones that tried fighting back were quickly overwhelmed. Iron Dome did made some interceptions but the system was simply overwhelmed. Truth be told, no system can handle that huge number of rockets no matter how sophisticated it was. Not to mention the EW that Hamas deployed, which confirmed my fears that a great foreign power is behind these operations on the Hamas side. They simply do not have such capability on their own. Moreover, it could also be an inside job or either way. It's just too complicated right now. This is a lesson to Israel that no one is untouchable no matter how big you may be. |

Not even up to 6 hours since I said this. A combination of the Taliban and Hezbollah mixed with Hamas? We're in for a long one. I don't think that ei happen because if Hezbollah opens another from and Taliban gets involved, especially with the help of Turkey, the US would be dragged quickly onto this war. The Dems would see it as an opportunity to win back their downhill falling ratings and divert attention from the anger the mass migrant crisis is causing the US government among Americans. This though is really going to be interesting. |

LordAdam16: It is not a conspiracy theory.
Global spy craft is on steroids right now, so it stands to reason that everyone, and I mean everyone, is stretched thin.
Further to this, Putin in particular issued multiple directives to the Israelis. They largely treated them as suggestions.
The Kremlin definitely had foreknowledge of this operation. Like they knew about the Azerbaijani operation in NK. But the Israelis like the Armenians let the Americans fill their head with grandiose tales. Now both of them have bloody noses.
When folks talk about the security guarantees of superpowers, this is what they mean. Putin or Xi could have decided to throw Israeli a bone and give them some type of warning. The Russians have in the past. But we're living in interesting times.
Everyone who's relying on the West's security blanket should be apprehensive as f*ck right now.

LordAdam16: Way too many chess pieces.
Everyone is a suspect, including Netanyahu.
The two-state solution has to be implemented pronto. The balance of power in the Middle East has changed.
This is not the late 20th century when the only semi-powerful Islamic state was Egypt. Today, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Egypt are heavyweights. You cannot get away with treating the Palestinians like the Spartans did the Helots with impunity. You go collect!
Of course, the Israelis will retaliate. And it will be harsh.
But we are seeing dead Israeli civilians executed in broad daylight in Israel. I have to repeat that. Israeli civilians were shot while waiting for a bus inside Israel. There was a time no one would attempt that fearing the repercussions. But right now, they don't care. Because they know they'd be able to repeat it after Israel retaliates.
Or does anyone really believe Hamas operatives hacked the Iron Dome? That's all Iran.
I know everyone is used to Israel pummeling the Ummah, but if I were Jewish, I'll be very concerned about the trajectory of world events. Israel has to start offering concessions. If Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan jointly decide to greenlight a limited incursion using their myriad of arrowheads including Hamas fighters with a target body count of 100 citizens. Nothing on this planet can stop them. NOTHING.
Qatar could bankroll a million such operations without flinching. If they want bodies, there are hundreds of thousands of extremists who would pay for the privilege of being part of such a mission. As for capabilities, they have that in spades.
That's the current state of the planet in 2023. Iran is twisting America's arm. Turkey has made the Greeks and Caucasus their b*tch. Pakistan is holding a foe many times larger to a standstill. Israel has to read the tea leaves. Permit Palestine to become a state and establish relations similar to what they have with Jordan, Morocco, and Azerbaijan.
This idea that their ultra-nationalists have of Palestinians having zero agency ad nauseum in a world where Islamic powers are experiencing ascendancy is lunacy.
