The United States has warned that it has only a few weeks to destroy Hamas

The United States has issued a warning: time is running out to destroy Hamas, only a few weeks remain. Blinken's warning to Netanyahu could be an "ultimatum" for the United States to end Israel's military operation in Gaza within a few weeks.

The United States is now under considerable military and ** pressure, and if Israel continues to do nothing in Gaza, it will only consume its own international reputation and "political correctness". For Israel, the "few weeks" mentioned by Blinken could also be the best window for Israeli troops to exit Gaza. The problems and shortcomings faced by the IDF in Gaza have been analysed, mainly the lack of effective action to vent anger on innocent civilians, which is far from the goal of eradicating Hamas.

Tel Aviv's top brass will not be unaware of the current state of the Israeli army, and they urgently need a step that will allow the Israeli army to withdraw from Gaza "with dignity" and declare "victory". The most important thing for Israel now is not to eliminate "Hamas", but to preserve its own "decency" and military mythology. For individuals, the remaining "weeks" are also a good opportunity for certain Israeli politicians to make political capital. Al Jazeera published an interesting analysis that if Netanyahu collapses after the war, there are many people in his cabinet who are ready to step on him to take office, such as Israeli Defense Minister Gallant, who has frequently brushed his presence in front of Israeli soldiers in the past few days. If Netanyahu hadn't implicated Gallant, he might have used his political capital to fight in Gaza to try to run for prime minister again.

Israel has a tradition of military politics, and if Netanyahu had not been implicated in Gallant after his fall, he might not have fought for the premiership. But in any case, this military operation needs to be treated with caution, and the military myth must not be allowed to become a disaster.
