ISRAEL - It appears that a major war between Israel and Hamas is imminent. For the past six months, Hamas has been staging violent protests along the Israeli border in an attempt to end the Israeli-Egyptian blockade. Those protests have escalated in recent weeks as Egyptian efforts to broker a long-term ceasefire have faltered.
Let’s talk about what such a scenario would mean for the Middle East as a whole. Hamas would fight back with everything that they have got, and it would be an extremely bloody conflict. Seeing an opportunity, Hezbollah would likely start striking Israel from the north, and the Israelis could suddenly find themselves fighting a war on two fronts. And since Hezbollah is heavily funded and supplied by Iran, it is easy to imagine Iran getting involved in the conflict as well.
And once missiles start flying back and forth between Israel and Iran, all hell could break loose. If a major regional war erupts in the Middle East, the Trump administration will not hesitate to intervene. US forces would be used to protect Israel, and such a move would inevitably unleash chaos and protests all over the globe.
We are just a hop, skip and jump away from World War 3, and most Americans don’t have a clue. Once again, the eyes of the entire world will soon be glued on a tiny sliver of extremely important land in the Middle East, and we are going to watch a drama play out that will have enormous implications for the entire planet. War is coming, and once it begins everything is going to change.
