Taking advantage of the alleged security holes in the Israeli Defense caused by the schism between the reservists and Netanyahu, the armed wing of the Islamist group Hamas launched the bloodiest offensive since 2007.

Hamas infiltrated dozens of its members into Israeli localities. It launched thousands of shells into large areas, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, with the balance of 1400 Israeli victims and the taking of about 240 hostages.
The reality is that the bloody Hamas offensive would only be bait for Mossad agents infiltrated into Hamas after an initial success, provoke a devastating response from the Israeli Army in the Gaza Strip and the subsequent extension of the conflict to the entire Middle East.
Hamas chairman Saleh al Arouri was assassinated
Thus, the recent assassination in Beirut of the commander of the Hamas military wing, Saleh al Arouri, would be the trap devised by Israel and the US to get the involvement of members of the Fatemiyoun Brigade.
The brigade is a Shiite militia with organic dependence on the elite of the Iranian Armed Forces or Pasdarn. Finally, Iran will enter into the war scene and the beginning of a new regional conflict in the Middle East.
Thus, after the fiascos of Syria, Libya and Iraq, the offensive of Hamas would be the new bait of the Machiavellian plan outlined by the Anglo-American alliance in 1960 to attract both Russia and China and provoke a major regional conflict that would mark the evolution of the area in the coming years, and that would be a new local episode that would be framed in the return to the recurring endemism of the cold war between the US and Russia.
Do Netanyahu and Biden need a big war?
Israel considers Iran, the largest exporter of terror and violation of rights in the world. While denouncing that Iran continues to enrich uranium and comes dangerously close to obtaining a nuclear bomb also, Netanyahu urgently needs a new war to make him forget the judicial process in which he is accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
For its part, the US Congress and Senate approved a declaration prepared by Lindsey Graham and Robert Menéndez that stated emphatically that “If Israel is forced to defend itself and take action (against Iran), the US will stand by it to support it militarily and diplomatically” and after the IDF razed the Gaza Strip, we will see the foreseeable increase in pressure from the pro-Israeli US lobby ( AIPAC) to proceed with the destabilization of Lebanon and Iran by expedited methods (Operation Persia).
Thus, taking advantage of the fact that Russia is occupied with Ukraine, China is surrounded by the nuclear crisis arc of the AUKUS to protect Taiwan, and that US strategic reserves are at maximum, Biden would use an initial surprise attack by Israel on Iran to start a new war in the Middle East with the dual objective of drying up China’s energy sources and climbing its popularity index to be re-elected in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
Such a conflict could involve the three superpowers (US, China and Russia) counting as necessary collaborations with regional powers (Israel, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran).
It would cover the geographical space that extends from the Mediterranean arc (Israel, Syria and Lebanon) to Yemen and Somalia with the avowed aim of designing the cartography of the New Middle East favourable to the geopolitical interests of the US, Britain and Israel with the implementation of Great Israel (“Eretz Israel”).
This would entail the restoration of the Balfour Declaration (1,917), which drew the State of Israel with a vast extension of about 46,000 square miles and extending from the Mediterranean east of the Euphrates to Syria, Lebanon, north-eastern Iraq, northern part of Saudi Arabia, the coastal strip of the Red Sea and the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, while Jordan would be forced to host the Palestinian population of the current West Bank and Gaza forced into a massive diaspora (new nakba).
