Instead of abandoning its attack on the Gaza Strip, Israel has intensified its efforts, as confirmed by the end of the ceasefire period. Israel's high-profile announcement of the expansion of its ground operation throughout Gaza is a clear indication to the world that Israel's so-called humanitarian crisis has been nothing more than a façade. It is worth mentioning that with the end of the cease-fire period, the embarrassing situation of Israel and the United States in the Middle East is difficult to hide, and the essence of these two paper tigers has been revealed. Regarding Israel's strength, we need to analyze not only its own, but also the strength of the United States. Although the United States is a country with strong verbal strength, it seems to have become much weaker lately. For example, the United States sent two aircraft carriers into the Middle East at the beginning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but now the situation has changed.
Iran has already shown an overwhelming posture towards the United States, on the one hand, it has forcefully ordered the landing of the US escort, and on the other hand, it has "intimately" filmed the **and** of the aircraft carrier strike group, completely holding the United States firmly in its hands. In this case, the performance of the United States appears to be relatively "weak". Of course, this is not without reason. On the one hand, the Strait of Hormuz, through which the US carrier strike group passes, is very narrow, and even to deter Iran, this place is not ideal, because Iranian anti-ship ** can be aimed at it. If you rush into a conflict with Iran, you will not only lose face, but you may also be hurt. On the other hand, although the purpose of the US carrier strike group is to provide support to Israel, it also does not want to provoke Iran, because in the event of a war between the two sides, the United States will be in a very awkward position, and Iran will be strengthened.
Obviously, the United States still has a bit of a fluke mentality, balancing the balance with Iran here while allowing Israel to launch a major attack in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to eliminate Hamas in one fell swoop. However, whether Israel can eliminate Hamas in the next phase is a complete fantasy. Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel has apparently preferred targets such as the destruction of hospitals, schools, refugee camps, and tunnels. But as can be seen from the exposed ** and **, Israel's so-called "ground offensive" seems to be only a superficial operation, lacking the courage to penetrate deep into the tunnels and not be able to accurately hit Hamas. Although Israel's bombing has caused a large number of ** in Gaza, this kind of "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go" is very cruel. At the same time, although Hamas's equipment strength is inferior to Israel's, it can accurately strike at the Israeli army, which has put a lot of pressure on Israel, otherwise Israel would not agree to a short ceasefire.
Moreover, the confrontation between Hamas and Israel is not limited to the battlefield, including the most advanced aspects. Israel cut off the internet and electricity in Gaza as soon as it announced its ground offensive, trying to turn it into an "information vacuum". Hamas, by contrast, aggressively attacks Israel, while also filming and posting** exposing the inhumane practices of Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip and promoting their kindness to hostages. The two are in stark contrast, and Israel is clearly at a disadvantage. Before the brief ceasefire, even Israel's unreserved efforts could not suppress Hamas, and it had not even discovered the details of Hamas. At the same time, the United States is facing a situation of indecision. On the one hand, they want to deter Iran, and on the other hand, they do not want to be drawn into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This contradiction has led to the bias of US support in favor of Israel, but this will inevitably draw the United States into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and once this happens, the United States will become a "turtle in an urn" in the Middle East situation.
That is, the United States must tread cautiously in supporting Israel, since it has time not far from the time of Iran's struggle. Only this opportunity for Israel to quickly take control of Gaza in the shortest possible time can ensure the face of the United States, otherwise, the hegemony of the United States will officially begin to fade.
