The Israeli response to the Oct. 7 Hamas slaughter of 1,400 people, not to mention the kidnapping of more than 200 of its citizens, was utterly predictable. The Israel Defense Forces are now in the Gaza Strip, working to eliminate the Iran-backed terrorist organization.
Hamas knew this would be the outcome. It attacked nonetheless. Fears of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza are growing. There are broad calls for a ceasefire across social media, television airwaves, and protests spanning the globe.Most of the outrage is directed at Israel. This is probably because Israel is the more powerful party. That outrage is misdirected. Israel has allowed itself to be restrained by world powers during previous bouts with Hamas: 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2021.
Admittedly, Iran is not likely to bend. The regime is behind much of the violence unfolding today. But with the U.S. military deployed to the region, coupled with financial and political pressure on the regime, Tehran still might be sufficiently threatened to stand down. From there, international pressure can be applied to countries such as Malaysia, Kuwait, Algeria, and South Africa. Malaysia hosts Hamas operatives who learn advanced technical skills and even engage in military training. The Israeli Mossad has targeted some of them in recent years, but others remain. Kuwait is a jurisdiction of illicit finance , and the political backing is constant.
