This question is on the lips of many political players around the world, many of whom inhabit rat holes in the Middle East. The Mullahs in Iran are one group, various followers of one form of islam or another are a large part, and some Christians and agnostics round up that group. Any and all actions will play a role in the future of Israel and its neighbors, as always.
Mr. Netanyahu has firmed up his leadership at home but after meeting with Mr. Joe Biden in Tel Aviv, he knows he must proceed with caution. While international sym[athies lean in Israel's favor, many supporters of Palestine have had their voices heard, especially among liberal/progressives around college campuses in the U.S.
The moral dilemma has been a topic for the pundits. To seek revenge or not is the question. How do rational people respond to barbaric acts committed by terrorists against innocents/civilians? How can their leaders be held to account? How does a nation proceed when hundreds of hostage lives are at stake? How does a nation deal with the source of this evil-Iran's leaders? ANd the threat of expansion of hostilities is ever present. Will Hezbollah in Lebanon raise the ante by invading Israel from the north? Hmmm. Bibi has his plate full. And many at home inIsrael have no sympathies for his leadership, given his legal troubles brought on by his own actions.
It seems now that the media is focused on current conditions among civilians in Gaza. No water, fuel, or food has been allowed to enter Gaza. A hospital was targeted by Hamas, killing hundreds of sick and injured residents there. An errant missile fired toward Israel the likely cause of the destruction.
What would an invasion accomplish? Will there be justice done? Will HAmas leaders be captured? They don't even live there; they live in luxury in QATAR. Hmmmmm. Maybe Israel should invade Qatar instead.
Events change by the minute. Keep an eye out.
