The United States and other European countries are concerned that an Israeli invasion of Gaza could end in disaster. They’re trying to get them to delay it by convincing the Israelis that they can secure the release of hostages.

The US government and some European allies are pushing Israel to postpone its ground attack on Gaza in order to negotiate the release of more hostages held by Hamas, Bloomberg reports.

Israeli forces are planning a major operation in the Palestinian enclave in response to a deadly terrorist attack earlier this month.

Though Israel previously signaled it would soon deploy troops to Gaza, it has “agreed under US pressure to hold off,” multiple sources familiar with the hostage negotiations told the outlet on Friday.

Hamas, the Palestinian militant faction that rules Gaza, captured more than 200 people during its October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, including several US citizens. Washington has taken part in “secret,” Qatari-brokered talks to free the captives in the weeks since, according to Bloomberg.

It doesn’t appear as if the Israelis are going to listen to reason. It looks as if they’ll be doing a ground invasion of Gaza because they are filled with rage and hate in their hearts.

I agree with Scott Ritter’s general analysis of what will happen with an Israeli ground invasion.

This could potentially start a larger regional war if not a world war. The danger of what is going on should not be underestimated. If the Jews do this, I do not like their chances. They’re basically going to be up against the entire Islamic world along with Russia and China and American power is in rapid decline.
