The Spin

This is the necessary final push to eliminate Hamas and secure Israel's long-term safety. Military control of Gaza City will cut off Hamas' remaining strongholds and force the terrorist organization to surrender or face destruction. The plan includes humanitarian provisions for civilians and offers a clear path to victory after nearly two years of conflict.

The Gaza City takeover plan ignores military warnings and will endanger the remaining hostages. This plan is a humanitarian disaster that will lead to numerous further disasters, costing tens of billions and damaging diplomatic relations. Netanyahu plays directly into Hamas' strategy of trapping Israel in endless occupation.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 10% chance that the Gaza war will end and significant progress will be made towards a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict before Jan. 1, 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
