Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to press ahead with an invasion of the city of Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip in defiance of United States President Joe Biden, who has warned such an offensive would be a “red line.”
Without naming them, Netanyahu claimed he had the tacit support of several Arab leaders for driving ahead with the onslaught against Hamas.
Israel’s prime minister also doubled down on his rejection of thepossibility of a Palestinian state — a topic that pits Israel against most of the rest of the world.
“The positions that I espouse are supported by the overwhelming majority of Israelis who say to you after October 7: ‘We don’t want to see a Palestinian state,’” he said.
I’m sure that won’t have any long term geopolitical ramifications over the next 40-60 years.
You see though netanyahu only has to make it through so much, his own life. Once he dies, they can’t put him in prison anymore.
Nothing’s gone wrong so far
Except the whole Red Sea Yemen rocket attacks, or the Hezbollah situation on the Lebanese border, or the stress on US relations, or Iran using this to their geopolitical advantage you mean.
Those trifles?
