Hamas are just the pawns in this. Hezbolah is now gearing up to get involved. It's the Ayatollah's in Tehran that would appear to be spending the Joe Biden windfall on doing what Putin has asked of them, and pulling the American's ever short attention span over onto another global conflict. Hamas and the Palestinian's are just sacrificial cattle, even if they are too stupid to realize it.
This may (Hopefully) end by Tuesday as Israel ramps up the use of airpower and turns the Gaza Strip into an even more uninviting hellhole, then blockades them and starves them out. The alternative is we finally see the big Middle Eastern War that has been getting put off for decades finally play out. The question is where does the political will in the Sunni Arab states lie? Will the House of Saud follow through on its recent overtures and side with Israel against Iran, and risk internal turmoil?
