Palestine

[The Architect Of Fate]

I believe it would spark a war between Israel and most of the middle east as it would be seen as a step to far.It would shatter whatever goodwill Israeli has tried to broker with it's neighbours. It would embolden Iran and put the west in very awkward position.

Do you think the various ME countries would really engage in a a war with Israel, and most likely the US?
Or would, if done now and done quickly, be pretty much a fait accompli?

Perhaps they are thinking that goodwill can always be regained over time, but so long as Gaza exists (and Hamas exists with its goals) then Israel can never be safe from such attacks, and if they ever got WMD then that would be catastrophic.  Maybe they have calculated that this is the best road to peace on at least one of its borders.

Do i think they would engage with Israeli and hope the US current malaise about foreign wars keep them out of it. Of course America won't they will stand up and tell both sides to knock it off. They would likely sanction Israeli Then sanction Iran harder and pressure the rest of the west to do the same. So it would end but with a huge death toll and a massive humanitarian crisis no one is ready to handle

I don't Israeli would quickly take Gaza they would face stiff resistance

Gaza is simply the hornets nest Israeli should not poke to hard. Leaving it is a risk but poking it to hard is a receipt for disaster.
