There is nothing a Palestinian likes more than being a refugee. Such a convenient status - you are always the underdog, entitle for the support of the west and most importantly, you always have someone else to blame.

A Palestinian likes being a martyr more than a refugee. And the gall to talk about western support in this conflict is hilarious. The eternal victim mentality of Israelis is truly astounding.

Anywho:

Western media reported that Iran will retaliate for the recent Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strikes around Iran, possibly by launching one-way attack drones and ballistic missiles from Iraq.
That Khamenei ordered retaliation against Israel corroborates CTP-ISW's assessment that the recent IDF strikes on Iran inflicted significant damage to Iranian military and defense infrastructure

I've said this a month or two ago: Netanyahu has no interest in this war ever ending since he'll get booted from office as soon as the fighting wraps up. Likewise, his smaller, radical coalition partners presumably know that they're unlikely to get such a right-leaning parliament again anytime soon.

it seems the issue is now two-fold; the opposing party is accusing him of sabotaging peace talks to bring home the hostages and even now people in his own coalition are turning spies. the strikes in Iran didnt amount to much, the IDF has largely been thwarted in Lebanon, Hamas is still alive and there are still 100+(?) hostages and we're over a year into this...
I'd be shocked if he's still around 6 months from now
