Israel hedges on plans for ground invasion of Gaza Strip

Lost interest already. A week ago I was pumped up. "Let's go kill some terrorists!"
The longer it drags on with one false start after another, it has become boring.

Ready, Get set, wait ...

Ready, Get set, wait ...

Ready, Get set, wait ...
OK ... here we go for real this time! oh, no wait ... looks like it might rain ...

ISRAEL ATTACKS GAZA!! -- yeh sure, *yawn* -- wake me up when something happens ...

Do not know what Israel is doing. But the time for a reactionary 'smackdown' of Hamas everybody expected is already passed. Every day that passes the war fades from a justified response into a routine situation.

So if we don’t let “refugees” into America, we’re racists.

But Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia refusing to take in “refugees” from Gaza is .. ?

Very complicated operation that has to consider the location of the hostages, chances of rescue, civilians, etc.. They surely have contingency plans and orders drawn up, but they'll need to be massively modified before going in. It's a very urbanized environment, and that is the most difficult type of operation to conduct.

Can't just roll across the border.

And full of deadly boobytraps and embedded bombs. They had years to prepare for it.

What could possibly go wrong?? Brandon isn't capable of carrying on a conversation, let alone doing what's in the best interest of our country as well. When will he have time to nap? No teleprompter help either.

It is devolving from a justified response into an international 'political' situation.
And yes, that is like dipping the red-hot iron in water.

Royal Caribbean evacuates 160 Americans by cruise ship from Israel: report

A Royal Caribbean cruise ship carrying 160 Americans and other foreign nationals out of Israel arrived at the Mediterranean island of Cyprus on Tuesday, according to a report.

The Rhapsody of the Seas departed Monday from the northern Israeli port city of Haifa and docked Tuesday morning at the island’s main port of Limassol, The Associated Press reported. The arriving passengers were met by U.S. Ambassador to Cyprus Julie Fisher.

A spokesperson for the company told FOX Business on Monday that it is "actively supporting the U.S. Department of State in the assisted departure of American citizens."

"Please go to Ben Gurion International Airport, Terminal 3 if you wish to depart Israel," reads a message on the State Department’s website. "U.S. Embassy personnel will be present to direct you and provide specific flight information. Be prepared to wait."

Naama Kopelman, whom the Associated Press reported has relatives still in Israel, possibly taken hostage by Hamas, described leaving Israel as a "big relief."

"It’s a big relief to be out of there in a safe place. No alarms, no sounds of the planes going about all the time," Kopelman said.

Fox News' Greg Norman contributed to this report.

They need to take out Haniyeh himself.

Would bet my house that the next step will be internationally brokered "negotiations".
And once that nonsense begins, Israel is f**ked. - when negotiations begin, Israel has lost in the first moment that happens.

At least six people have been killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a school run by the United Nations' Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) in Gaza's Al-Maghazi refugee camp, UNRWA posted on X social media platform.

The memory of the world is short. The memory of politicians is even shorter. The memory of the press is the shortest of all.

By the time Israel gets around to invading, if that is still an option?, so much time will have passed that it will seem like they are invading for no reason. It will seem as if they have no justification for doing what they are doing. The Israeli massacre from Gaza will be long forgotten.

The world will yell, "what are you doing!? why are you doing this?" Because of the massacre.
But that is history. Why can't you just get over it?

A good possibility -- waiting for the US $$ and help would be my guess.

Yes indeed. They blamed the weather at first ... now ... there are no excuses. Bibi had an 8 hour talk with Blinken, Brandon is on his way for talks. This stalling isn't a good sign.
