๐Ÿ“ A point I might elaborate further later about, is what's next!?

The current trajectory of the Jewish war in Gaza is unclear because the U.S. is exerting immense pressure on Israel to avoid an operation in Rafah.

This has been done in secret and done in public, with comments by the U.S. Secretary of State implying Israel has lost international legitimacy and that any operation in Rafah will damage Israel's image forever.

The Israeli army is clearly frustrated, and so is the Israeli political echelon. Without an operation in Rafah the war goals are lost and maintaining a continuous presence in Gaza will be even harder and more difficult.

My concern, is that this will erode the Israeli will to launch a ground campaign in Rafah and continue attacks from the air, while maintaining a presence Northern and Central Gaza.

With that, focus will shift on southern Lebanon, and the assessment that there is still 250,000 Israeli refugees and we need to restore security with Lebanon, while Gaza operation is on half.

Gaza then would be West Bank 2.0

The aim in Lebanon would be a limited campaign from the air against areas deeper in south Lebanon, Beqaa, and possibly Beirut. This will be followed by a limited ground raid on several border villages.

This will definitely escalate and won't be contained, turning into the 3rd Lebanon War.

While I still believe Netanyahu will not launch such a war on Lebanon, he just never had it in him since 1990's and during all his premierships.

However the current state of Israel is chaotic balance, nothing is clear.
