I am baffled, indeed. Hamas has been asked to disarm. They offer to hand over political control. Instead.
I think this conflict will carry on. Unchanged. All this bloodshed, all these tears, all the destruction, Lebanon torn appart too, again, for nothing. They will carry on bombing, terrorising and hating each other.
I do not see an end to this, at all.
Iran/ US, I think will stop. On the surface, at least. The spying, sanctioning, distrusting and so on of the past will continue. But I think the bombing will stop. With limited campaigns here and there till they sign the final paperwork and cheque to settle.
