Israel’s
rapid progress in dismantling Hamas’s last remaining stronghold in Gaza exposes the counterproductive role played by
Justin Trudeau and do-gooders of his ilk, who needlessly stonewalled the Rafah operation earlier this year.
Israel has made vital strategic gains since breaching the city in early May, pivotally
snuffing out Hamas’s smuggling operations along the Philadelphia corridor between Gaza and Egypt. The Israel Defense Forces has also rooted out multiple high-value targets in and around Rafah, recently carrying out a strike that
likely killed October 7 mastermind Mohammed Deif.
The sustained Israeli pressure in Rafah has
reportedly driven a wedge between Hamas’s exhausted military arm and the organization’s top political officials, who have been watching the fighting from their luxury hotels in Qatar over the past nine months.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that a
demoralized Hamas is close to acquiescing to a new ceasefire and hostage deal….but are Iran or Hezbollah or the Houthi’s, etc???

The shifting of the conflict’s focus to Rafah has coincided with a
sharp decline in the proportion of women and children killed in the fighting — a finding borne out in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Authority’s own data. This welcome trend flies in the face of the Western hand-wringing over Israel’s plans to enter the Hamas stronghold.
Trudeau’s sky-is-falling rhetoric surrounding an Israeli incursion into Rafah has aged especially poorly amidst the recent developments… but he’s gotten used to that over the last nine years or so.
Trudeau and other alarmists were made to eat their words when Israel safely evacuated
almost a million Palestinians from Rafah within days of initiating ground operations on May 6. The ground invasion of Rafah has likely saved Palestinian lives by allowing the IDF to
target remnants of Hamas in a more focused, precise manner, relying less on aerial bombing raids.
Israel’s war cabinet hasn’t forgotten about the obstacles needlessly thrown in their way by Trudeau and other meddling Western leaders.
