HaYovel Operations Director and The Israel Guys co-host Joshua Waller discusses why the U.S. is getting involved, and if it has reason to.
As previously announced earlier this week, Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz confirmed that the country has given Hamas until March 10th to free its remaining hostages. And if it fails to do so, it will attack Rafah, the last city remaining in Hamas control.
Ever since this announcement, several countries have been concerned about Israel’s decision – and that includes the United States. President Joe Biden has noted that it “should not proceed under current circumstances” and believes a United Nations vote may be in order.
Why the concern? Some believe that a ground offensive into the city would have “serious implications for regional peace and security.”
So what happens now? Joining us now to discuss this further is Joshua Waller. He serves as Operations Director for HaYovel, a group that specializes in calling for volunteers to assist with needs within Israel. He is also a co-host of The Israel Guys, and spends quite a bit of time discussing the good report of the Land within the United States. His expertise on all things Israel make him a great subject for this interview. Welcome, Joshua.
Q&A:
- What do you think about the U.S. trying to convince Israel to call off its intended strike on Rafah? Is it too little, too late?
- Do you believe that a strike on Rafah could indeed have “serious implications for regional peace and security,” as Biden puts it?
- Do you believe Hamas will follow through or, at the very least, attempt to negotiate a ceasefire while figuring out its next move? Or will the conflict get even worse after the 10th?
- Where do you see the Israel/Hamas battle going in the months ahead? Will the situation get worse before it gets better?
