Hamas Bombshell: Netanyahu's Support Backfires
Netanyahu's Gamble Unleashes Chaos
Years of Support Haunt Israel
JERUSALEM, June 10th, 2023 - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's strategy of supporting Hamas as a counterbalance to other Palestinian factions has backfired, leading to a surge in violence that has put the region on edge. For years, Netanyahu has treated Hamas as a "partner," believing that a strong but contained Hamas would maintain peace and reduce pressure for a Palestinian state. However, this policy has allowed Hamas to grow in strength, leading to the current wave of rocket attacks on Israel. Despite repeated military provocations from Hamas since the last major Israeli ground incursion in 2014, Netanyahu has largely ignored them. Critics argue that this inaction has emboldened Hamas and emboldened its supporters. The consequences of Netanyahu's gamble are now evident. Hamas has launched hundreds of rockets into Israel, causing widespread damage and killing dozens of civilians. The Israeli government has been forced to respond with airstrikes, which have also caused casualties. The conflict has escalated into a full-blown crisis.As the situation worsens, Netanyahu faces growing criticism from both within Israel and abroad. Critics accuse him of misjudging Hamas's intentions and of failing to protect Israel from attack. The future of Netanyahu's government and the stability of the region hang in the balance.
