I think Israelis had given up on Gaza's total control and are rushing into expanding the war by attacking Lebanon. Several calculations are play: More than one analyst has said after a few weeks, the weather will make it harder to do air-strikes in the Middle East. Then there is the American elections: Both political parties are fighting to win in a very tight race where every morsel, every person, every dollar counts. And AIPAC has the most money. Netanyahu knows the American politics quite well.
I think Yemen, the militias in Iraq/Syria should start to move toward the Golan Heights and Lebanon border. This is the time!
Even some Israelis are afraid of what Jordan and Egypt would do. Yes, even Jordan. Once a regional war starts then anything is possible. Anything!
