Biden's turn opens a new front for Israel in its war against Hamas

A new front has been opened to Israel - and not exactly a small one - after Joe Biden's change of position on the war against Hamas in Gaza. At this time, The Jewish state is currently facing on the ground threats from Palestinian terrorist groups, Hezbollah rockets from the north, missile launches and attacks on ships by Yemen Houthis, the permanent tension on the border with Syria and, above all, the shadow of iran. As if that were not enough, Egypt has also threatened to break diplomatic relations with the Netanyahu government.

Disagreements over management after the war

The tension between Netanyahu and Biden represents a serious setback for Israel, physically surrounded by enemies and with the majority of UN countries pressing to stop the ground operation with which the IDF is trying to eradicate Hamas from Gaza. Although the Israeli prime minister assures that the differences only point to the "day after" the conflict, this is the first public gap in American support for the Jewish state. In addition, Biden acknowledged that he even asked the leader of the Jewish Executive to change his Government to accept the two-state solution.

Israel's main conflict at the moment is the ground operation in Gaza designed to eliminate Hamas. Urban warfare represents a significant cost and risk for soldiers, who need to be supported by armor, while air attacks continue. The terrorists take advantage of their knowledge of the city and the tunnels to delay the Jewish advance while they continue trying to hit targets inside Israeli territory.

Rockets from Lebanon and Yemen

Since the beginning of the conflict, Hezbollah has not stopped launching rockets against Israeli targets from the northern border. The IDF has entered Lebanon on several occasions in response to attacks, and to eliminate those launchering the rockets. The fear of an escalation in this area has been constant since October 7.

Yemen's Houthi rebels joined in the conflict with the launch of missiles and drones and announcing that every ship that passes through the Red Sea that has a relationship with Israel, or has docked in its ports, will be a legitimate target. The rebels have already hijacked a ship and attacked several other vessels, including a US destroyer in the area trying to provide aid and protection.

Tension on the border with Syria and Egypt

Furthermore, Israel cannot lose sight of its border with Syria. This country has been formally in a state of war against the Jewish State for decades and from time to time there have been incidents provoked by the Syrian side.

As if that were not enough, Egypt has now threatened to break relations with Israel in the event that Palestinian refugees arrive en masse in the Sinai, according to Axios, citing US and Israeli diplomatic sources.

The shadow of Iran

But above all, and behind everything, is Iran. The Ayatollah regime finances and trains terrorist groups and carries as one of its main objectives, the elimination of Israel. Since the outbreak of the conflict, the leaders have maintained their threats against Jews.
