MODERATORS
does the timing of this have to do with the israeli-saudi normalization? feels a bit like a last ditch effort to me. in any case, may God protect them
Death to Israel
Death to America
My opinion, no. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza shows no sign of improving unless Israel lifts the blockade. The current government was never going to consider it.
The recent incursion of settlers into Al-Aqsa (Thursday?) was deliberately protected by Israeli force, and was a display of power and a poorly thought out provocation.
If you look back at the past few Passovers and Succot holidays, similar things have happened with minor, backlash in Jerusalem: a few arrests and minimal casualties. This time the response was a strategic attack out of Gaza.
Or Egypt. Israel is not able to control what gets in and out of Gaza if Egypt opens its border. Which would make lifting the blockade more likely.
saudi arabia did just blame israel soley for the violence. so if plan or not , its working.
Qatar did as well.
Tbh I was wondering if Israeli intelligence allowed the attack to happen so that Netanyahu gains enough popualr support to reform the judiciary
It's risky. A small military target thrown away, where you have an offensive prepared, then yeah. But the most numerous loss of civilians in several decades, and the demonstrated failure of defense systems/safeguards, is not something that will make him look good.
