Kevin_Stapleton I think that the end game is regime change in all the neighbouring countries that hold an anti Israel standpoint or who have funded anti israel groups in the past.
Whether the regime change brings about an Israeli friendly government or not I don't think matters. A country that is in a constant state of internal strife is just as satisfactory result, eg. Libya/Iraq/Syria. In the case of Iran, the re-instatement of the Shah or very western friendly leader and then propped up by the USA.
Either way, any of those countries will not be allowed to have a proper army or navy or missiles or nuclear bombs or air defence system. They be neutered or they will be be bombed into submission.
I also think that Gaza will be redeveloped into a riviera resort, held by an international body and then in 20 years or more transferred to Israel.
I also think that there'll be a total annexation of the west bank.
I think that the remaining Hamas leaders in Qatar will be bumped off before the end of the year.
I also think that you may see an attempt to expand Israel into it's biblical land mass, not the whole thing, but an expansion into certain areas of Syria & Lebanon.
