Rafah is considered to be the last stronghold of Hamas, and Israel has just invaded it.

I was expecting this whole operation to result in the destruction or near-destruction of Israel, but it seems to not be the case. There isn’t enough being done by other nations to stop Israel. Even the actions of the Houthis aren’t enough.

    I think Egypt and Jordan are far from becoming another Yemen but I could be wrong. I do think the Americans will go to great lengths to prop up their puppets there. Even if Palestine was completely calm, losing one of those would be a disaster for them.

    • Both are ripe for revolution, both have high unemployment and poverty rates. In Egypt conditions are worse than 2011. The very exact opposite of the Arabian Gulf states where generally the people are fat and happy.

      Of course many governments have vested interest in the Egyptian junta remaining in power. The Arabian Gulf governments are taking the approach of providing it with financial support.
