Benny Gantz, a centrist member of Israel’s three-man war Cabinet, has announced his resignation, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of mismanaging the war effort and putting his own “political survival” over the country’s security needs.
They sure could and would. They make most of their own arms. The biggest thing the US is doing is holding off a larger war. They do not need the ammo we supply, it just makes it less challenging for them.
They could get weapons from other people or build them themselves, but the real question is could Bibi keep his coalition together with various international pressures applied. As soon as an election is called - if the hostages are not back … well everyone knows what happened to Jimmy Carter.
That’s a reasonable question calling for a reasonable discussion. However, I’ve given up trying to find one on this chat board.
The first question I would have, though, is use of the word enabling. Do you honestly think Isreal could not pursue this war without the US?
Clausewitz wrote that “war is politics by other means.”
No they could not. The USA keeps helping Israel and runs interference in the UN.

No the US is helping hold off the rest of the world from doing a peace keeping mission to stop Israel from the genocide it’s doing.
It doesn’t matter if we stop weapons if we don’t also use soft power to stop the killings.
Who in the world are you imagining? I’ve seen no one step to the plate.
Starting to see why this keeps happening to you if that’s your logic
Why? Because I ask a reasonable question? In order to have peacekeepers you need countries to supply them.
Because the UN has been trying to do peacekeeping only to be vetoed by USA

The UN does not have its own forces, it must aquire the blue hats from member countries. So, the question remains.
They could get weapons from other people or build them themselves, but the real question is could Bibi keep his coalition together with various international pressures applied. As soon as an election is called - if the hostages are not back … well everyone knows what happened to Jimmy Carter.
Of course this story is about his coalition falling apart
