The predictable pattern in Israel’s policy appears again. With new domestic problems, Netanyahu and Gallant threaten to escalate the war and make it as long as it possibly gets.
However, it is not in the interest of Neither of them that the Gaza war becomes one of the defining elements of the US election. It is best for them, that at election time, the war will be the issue of the past, as much as possible.
Obviously, Netanyahu wants to delay things, but what he does makes things much worse for him. Because the day that he leaves the office will eventually come and he will be in a very terrible situation at that time.
(To remind everyone once again, the only way to stop me is to kill me. This never changes.)
