The see-what-good-guys-we-are-and-how-evil-Hamas-is ceasefire strategy hasn’t had the desired results, in fact it is backfiring badly. Every moment Bibi vacillates produces the opposite effect. It allows the “international community” to marshal its forces and increase the “pressure” on Netanyahu, Israel and the Jews. Every second of hesitation from Netanyahu sets the stage for a weak, skewed diplomatic solution to what is a strategic military problem, and the return to the status quo ante.

 

But with Israel enjoying the upper hand (for now), the real question is why is Netanyahu willing to squander it?
