WhatsappIs another Gaza conflict coming? The Bennett-Lapid government appears bent on holding a full blown conflict off by hammering the Gaza Strip for the smallest infraction.
The back and forth between Hamas ruled Gaza and Israel continues no matter who the Prime Minister of Israel is. While Bennett is hoping that striking immediately after terror balloons are launched will quite Hamas, it is clear that another conflict is inevitable.
With Iran on the march and Biden in retreat, Israel is fast becoming surrounded by vicious enemies no matter how many new embassies are opened in the Gulf States.
It is true that Hamas’ weapons were degraded in the last war, but in reality, the fire balloons can wreck plenty of havoc on South and even cause increased chaos within Israel’s fragile ruling coalition. This is exactly the aim – to provoke Bennett into attacking and with that attack, Mansour Abbas would leave the coalition, thus collapsing the government.
So will Bennett over react? He may have no choice and then we will see just how smart Lapid’s attempt to forge a government was.
