I just don't see any of the major powers coming to aid the Palestinian side. Nobody benefits from it vs. doing nothing or continuing their support for Israel.With all the hypothesizing we've seen since the end of the Cold War regarding "how will World War III begin?" scenarios, this seems like a strong contender in terms of likelihood. I'm in favor of whatever solution sees the fewest people dead over the course of the next 20 years. That being said, I'll be rolling joints to distribute to all draft-eligible males within a 5 mile radius to help them piss hot if and when conscription starts up.
India and China don't benefit from getting involved, they already have trade and oil import deals with ME nations and decent relations because they don't get involved in the area. Russia would also benefit massively from war in other oil-producing countries and doesn't really have the ability to project power to defend Iran, let alone Palestine. I think they'd gladly throw Iran under the bus if it got them a favorable peace in Ukraine.
