Over on
Mondoweiss, Seham has written a perceptive piece about how the geo-political tectonic plates are shifting in the Middle East. Time is running out for Israel. Entitled
Netanyahu seems as delusional as Qadhafi, he concludes:
It's safe to assume that Hamas has in the last month rearmed via the tunnels in Egypt and that they are still rearming as I type this now and anyone who doesn’t believe that is happening is very delusional. It's also safe to assume that Israel will never be able to wage a war against Gaza or Lebanon again, they will no longer have Egyptian support to do so and it's impossible that the Jordanians will at this point, or at any point in the future offer the same kind of logistic support as they have in the past. A war against Lebanon? Israel waged its last war in collaboration with the Lebanese government, now, Hezbollah's coalition controls the government, Iranian warships are docked in Syria and they have access to the Suez. Of course no one can predict exactly how stupid the Israeli regime is to the new facts on the ground in the Arab world, but, I would wager that if Israel ever tried to attack Gaza again that the Palestinian resistance would have military support from Turkey, Egypt and Hezbollah.
