“Now, former officials and analysts say, Israel has opened a window of opportunity for a possible ground invasion…” “The military has been building and rebuilding the plan for years” Read Loveday Morris, Claire Parker , Shira Rubin washingtonpost.com/world/2024/09/…

Arab governments, especially in the Persian Gulf, had once taken a hawkish line toward Iran but now worry U.S. strikes could upend regional stability and hurt business. w/ Steve Hendrix washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/…


The UN had clearly warned that routing crowds of hungry Palestinian aid seekers through land controlled by the IDF could lead to troops using gunfire as “crowd control”. The GHF opened its sites regardless, as Palestinians were gunned down repeatedly. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
