What is stopping Israeli victory in Gaza?

Israel is facing numerous challenges that are hindering its ability to achieve victory in Gaza.

One major obstacle is the Biden administration’s embargo on certain bombs that Israel needs to effectively target Hamas in Gaza. Without these bombs, Israel is unable to fully destroy buildings used by Hamas for attacks.

The buildings in Gaza are built with reinforced steel and concrete, making them difficult to completely demolish. Even after being bombed, these buildings are still being used by terrorists to launch attacks on Israel.

The reservists in the Israeli military have been crucial to the war effort, but they are exhausted and overworked. Many reservists have civilian jobs that are essential to the Israeli economy, and their long deployments are negatively impacting both the economy and their personal lives.

The “bring them home” movement is pressuring the government to make concessions to terrorists, which could allow them to rebuild their capabilities and pose a threat to Israel in the future.

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) generals are urging the government to accept a deal at any cost, potentially allowing Hamas to remain in power and continue to threaten Israel.

Global pressure, particularly from the Biden administration, is pushing for Israel to withdraw from Gaza and hand over control of the Philadelphia corridor to Egypt. However, withdrawing from Gaza could be seen as a victory for Hamas and may lead to further conflict in the future.

If Egypt were to control the Philadelphia corridor, there is a risk that they would allow the flow of weapons into Gaza, rearming Hamas and setting the stage for another conflict with Israel.

It is crucial for Israel to continue the fight against Hamas despite international and internal pressure. Failure to completely defeat Hamas now could perpetuate the cycle of violence in the Gaza-Israel conflict for generations to come.
