[While Israel could mercilessly pummel Hamas, and also Hezbollah, and, more importantly, launch and carry out the monstrous Naqba-II to eliminate Palestinians from Gaza and further shrink West Bank -- by weaponising the heinous attack of Hamas on Israeli civilian population on October 7 2023, it found that its attempt to defang Iran amounted to punching well above its weight.

As I had earlier put it, this time it bit more than it could chew.

Let's wait and see how things actually unfold.

An abrupt ceasefire between Israel -- backed by Trump in particular and the rest of the West in general -- and Iran keeps the ongoing genocidal campaign in Gaza quite untouched.

Regardless, it's going to undercut the domestic legitimacy of Netanyahu and Trump both. And boost that of the Iranian Mullahcracy.

Trump's global standing as the Big Bad Bully cannot also but the affected.

Putin's credibility as a reliable ally also stands considerably damaged. Never mind the ceaseless rants of the paid (and also unpaid) propagandists.

The question, however, remains what happens to Gaza, and also Ukraine?]

LIVE: Iran says it will halt attacks if Israel stops ‘illegal aggression’

That means:

There's no ceasefire but there's.

Peace Is Doable
