For Israel to topple Hamas by means of a ground invasion of Gaza would probably result in more casualties on the Israeli side than Oct. 7 itself.
On Oct. 7, with Hamas terrorists still rampaging around southern Israel, I was interviewed on one of the American new channels that needed an analytical voice from Tel Aviv, where I live. The interviewer's confident assumption was that tanks were already rolling into Gaza. Almost three weeks later we're still waiting, and I'd be happy to wait a little more.To be clear: Hamas is a criminal mafia with the wrong kind of ideals.
Existing peace agreements, with Egypt, Jordan, the UAE and others, will be severely strained and actually might collapse. Israel's economy, the envy of the region until Benjamin Netanyahu launched his effort to Putinize the country this year, will be severely hobbled.All this is not punishment for Hamas and its backers in Iran, who almost certainly green-lighted the assault. They will have been expecting an Israeli ground offensive in response. They seek the mayhem that will result.
