Given what I have read from different sources the last couple of weeks on Israel and the Israeli defense force they do not have the capability of invading Lebanon and taking on Hezbollah. I believe the long war in Gaza has weaken, the IDF and I believe Israel in general may be becoming war weary. Netanyahu’s position as Prime Minister I believe is becoming somewhat tenuous and I think his speech in welcoming in this country next week maybe a harbinger of things to come there already about 120 people in the house of representatives who have said they are going to boycott the speech.

If Israel had gone in last October, and retaliated, and then left, perhaps with a deal to get the hostages back, then that would’ve been fine nobody would’ve faulted them for retaliating against an attack on them. But dragging the war out like they have and coming across as systematically eliminating, everyone in Gaza has ended up costing them the support of a great deal of the world. The question is, will it be worth it and I think the short answer is no

I’ll be waiting to see what the receptionist for Netanyahu and how it is handled by the Biden administration.
