Israel vs. Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran — and Itself - The New York Times

New York Times  

We are now almost a year from October 7. I think it’s fair to say that when he unleashed his soldiers on October 7 that he might have hoped for any number of things, even deeper penetration into Israel. Bibi Netanyahu’s brother, Yoni, was the one Israeli killed at the heroic 1976 military operation that went to Uganda and brought back Israeli hostages from their PLO captors. A dismantling of the settlement project in the West Bank would require a political transformation in Israel, a psychological sense of the future and assurance and security that just doesn’t exist. Who obviously want a Palestinian state and have fought for years to do so and have never really liked Hamas, have now reached the point where they grudgingly and I it’s a bitter thing to say admire Sinwar because of the failures, the weakness of the Palestinian Authority and because of the long years that have passed in which the settlement movement has grown and grown and grown and the thought of a two state solution.
