And Lebanon had better pick a side in this war.  They have gotten away with harboring Hezbollah for far too long.

...exactly the situation in Gaza, with Hamas.

The difference being, Lebanon is an actual Country....Hamas always had very little to lose in picking stupid battles.

Not quite.  Assad will still be protective of his status as local tyrant.  There is no such counterpart in Lebanon.

Isn't the Apache an anti-tank weapon?  If so, why would Israel want them in the first place?

Possibly, but why bother? They can buy dozens or hundreds of them from Afghanistan on the cheap. Biden gifted Afghanistan who knows how many Apaches and the Muzzies can't even fly them. I'm sure they would be glad to sell them to a third party broker who would then sell them to Israel.

In fact, anybody or any group in the World can get all of the state of the art modern American munitions from Afghanistan. The barefoot primitives there cannot do anything with them. Instead of letting them rot in a field, why not sell them? Which is what they are doing.

Netanyahu’s 3 Peace Conditions: Destroy Hamas, Demilitarize Gaza, Deprogram Palestinians

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Christmas Day laying out his three basic conditions for peace in post-war Gaza: destroy Hamas, demilitarize Gaza, and de-radicalize the Palestinian population.

FTA: Netanyahu quote:

Quote
Third, Gaza will have to be deradicalized. Schools must teach children to cherish life rather than death, and imams must cease to preach for the murder of Jews. Palestinian civil society needs to be transformed so that its people support fighting terrorism rather than funding it.

'Buying Quiet’: Inside the Israeli Plan That Propped Up Hamas
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gambled that a strong Hamas (but not too strong) would keep the peace and reduce pressure for a Palestinian state.
NY Times, Dec 10, 2023

Just weeks before Hamas launched the deadly Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, the head of Mossad arrived in Doha, Qatar, for a meeting with Qatari officials.

For years, the Qatari government had been sending millions of dollars a month into the Gaza Strip — money that helped prop up the Hamas government there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel not only tolerated those payments, he had encouraged them.

During his meetings in September with the Qatari officials, according to several people familiar with the secret discussions, the Mossad chief, David Barnea, was asked a question that had not been on the agenda: Did Israel want the payments to continue?

Mr. Netanyahu’s government had recently decided to continue the policy, so Mr. Barnea said yes. The Israeli government still welcomed the money from Doha.

Allowing the payments — billions of dollars over roughly a decade — was a gamble by Mr. Netanyahu that a steady flow of money would maintain peace in Gaza, the eventual launching point of the Oct. 7 attacks, and keep Hamas focused on governing, not fighting

In interviews with more than two dozen current and former Israeli, American and Qatari officials, and officials from other Middle Eastern governments, The New York Times unearthed new details about the origins of the policy, the controversies that erupted inside the Israeli government and the lengths that Mr. Netanyahu went to in order to shield the Qataris from criticism and keep the money flowing.

The payments were part of a string of decisions by Israeli political leaders, military officers and intelligence officials — all based on the fundamentally flawed assessment that Hamas was neither interested in nor capable of a large-scale attack

The payments from Qatar to Hamas are well documented, as are the facilitation by Mossad and approval of Netanyahu.

What does "Retiring Netanyahu" mean? Do you mean retiring him in the mafia sense of the term? Or ... what do you mean by that?

Sounds like you want to kill the Prime Minister of Israel in the middle of one of the most consequential wars Israel has ever faced.

What do you imagine killing Netanyahu would do? Suddenly 'peace' will break out. Rainbows and Unicorns will fill the skies. Arabs and the Western World globally will suddenly patch everything up and hug each other in love.

This is not a specifically only an Israeli problem. Israel is only first on the list. Then comes France, Britain, and Germany, to start. Eventually reaching America. Getting rid of Netanyahu would do nothing to even put a dent in the current wave of Global Jihad worldwide.
