Hamas sounded the war crime staying enough to Israeli abuse. But Israel is strong and can potentially establish a new security structure in Gaza with the help of allies like the Unites States and the UK. With its allies, Israel can limit Palestinian action and the West Bank. But will the rest of the world turn a blind eye to the sufferings of the Palestinians, or will they bold up against the US and stand up against Israel for playing victim all the time.
Calls are getting louder for a two-state solution.
Iran may be Israel’s number one threat, but it cannot afford to provoke Israel given its own domestic uprising, sanctions and limited arms. As for the other Arab states, they can only provide financial aid and political support, no serious military intervention.
Analysts believe Israel’s most serious current threat is internal and in its own neighborhood, and that too self-inflicted.
