Media Bias Fact Check (Jerusalem Post):
Overall, we rate The Jerusalem Post Right-Center biased based on editorial positions that favor the right-leaning government. We also rate them Mostly Factual for reporting, rather than High due to two failed fact checks.
Well likud also benefits. They get to literally level Gaza now- and they’ve always wanted this conflict.
Hammas also wanted this, even if they’re were idiots, for much the same reasons as Likud. They may not have fully considered the consequences, though. For its size, Israel has one of the best militaries in the world- even without US help/involvement… what’s happened so far has basically been inevitable.
Iran benefits even more though, and russia-by-proxy. Seems like the only people really. Losing are… civilians caught in the middle. The Israeli victims of Hamas, and the thousands of palistinians with no where else to go, just getting caught in it.
I am not entirely certain this conflict helps Likud. I honestly think once the dust settles, they might get punished by the israeli public
Perhaps they miscalculated, but they definitely wanted this.
