Prolonging the conflict could have catastrophic consequences for Palestinians. It could further harm Israel’s economy, influence its domestic politics, and damage its international standing. It could also impact US politics, particularly as President Joe Biden gears up for the November elections.
Israel has warned that its war in Gaza could extend until the end of the year. National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi stated on Wednesday that the country anticipates “seven more months of fighting” to achieve its objective of destroying Hamas, a goal that remains unmet after more than seven months of conflict. Prolonging the war could have catastrophic consequences for Palestinians in the already ravaged territory and significant repercussions for Israel and beyond, experts said.
It has withdrawn envoys from three European nations, in response to them formally recognizing a Palestinian state, and had several South American and other countries downgrade diplomatic relations. Legal action could also escalate. Netanyahu is facing a potential arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court over some of Israel’s actions in Gaza, and Israel is facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice.
