Is Jordan, Egypt, or Syria next?
Syria. Israel has invaded Egypt before, then retreated. Jordan has support from Saudi Arabia. Syria doesn't have support, and it's a mess internally, so it'd be fairly easy to take.
I'd bet they'd just take Damascus and the coast, though, unless they'd also want wherever the oil is (somewhat likely).
Egypt has a half-decent army and a peace treaty so probably impossible. The Gaza blockade also relies on Egyptian cooperation. Israel is like... That, but I don't think even them want to return to 70s era Arab relations. Jordan has Saudi Arabia support and a peace treaty, so again no reason to rock the boat. Syria, though? Definitely on the cards. They don't have a peace treaty and Syria is a failed stated who only have allies in Russia and Iran. The blowback will be disastrous, but Israel has proven they don't care about that.
Syria is always on the cards for hosting Hezbollah too, Israel takes out Iranian arms shipments in Damascus all the time. Egypt and Jordan have peace agreements with Israel, and as long as they stay frosty they've got nothing to worry about. If you attack or threaten the Jewish State it will make you fucking pay. Every time. It's existential for the Israelis. It is no threat, it is always a promise.
lol the Israeli occupation will attack and kill anyone if they want to steal their land. The peace deals mean nothing to them.
It's not existential for Jews, and Jews are increasingly anti Zionist.
Israel will fall, all fascist ethnostates fall. When they run out of enemies that don't look like them, they'll make enemies out of those that do. Usually they fall before getting to that step but that's the fatal flaw in fascism, you always need an enemy to blame.
Correct.
