Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to press ahead with an invasion of the city of Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip in defiance of United States President Joe Biden, who has warned such an offensive would be a “red line.”
Without naming them, Netanyahu claimed he had the tacit support of several Arab leaders for driving ahead with the onslaught against Hamas.
Israel’s prime minister also doubled down on his rejection of thepossibility of a Palestinian state — a topic that pits Israel against most of the rest of the world.
“The positions that I espouse are supported by the overwhelming majority of Israelis who say to you after October 7: ‘We don’t want to see a Palestinian state,’” he said.
Meanwhile, Biden pisses away his domestic support by propping up this Nazi clown. I’m starting to think Netanyahu wants Trump and the DNC is going to deliver him on a silver platter.
So what exactly does no Palestinian state look like?
Push all the Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt and continue to annexate the West Bank, terrorizing all Palestinians there until they flee or fight back (which then would give israel another “self defense’ opportunity”).
Israel is already doing behind the scenes stuff to accomplish this.

Not very dissimilar to now, since Palestine doesn’t really have an agreed upon statehood at the moment
It means more decentralization and more nomadic lifestyle, ending with the forced assimilation into surrounding cultures until there is little to no Palestinian culture left.
I’m sure that won’t have any long term geopolitical ramifications over the next 40-60 years.
You see though netanyahu only has to make it through so much, his own life. Once he dies, they can’t put him in prison anymore.
Nothing’s gone wrong so far
Except the whole Red Sea Yemen rocket attacks, or the Hezbollah situation on the Lebanese border, or the stress on US relations, or Iran using this to their geopolitical advantage you mean.
Those trifles?
Ten years after Ghouta, Mr Obama’s red line over Syria is remembered as a defining moment of his presidency. Rather than strike immediately, he first decided to ask for a vote in Congress and then agreed not to act at all if Russia stepped in to oversee Syria’s chemical disarmament. Critics argue that Mr Obama’s reluctance to punish Mr Assad diminished America’s credibility and that the consequences are still being felt even now.
