Israel's Dilemma: No Clear Path to Victory in Gaza Conflict

Despite initial advances, Israel's military now struggles against an adaptable insurgency, leading to internal political tensions and comparisons to U.S. conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Various postwar scenarios are being debated, including full-scale occupation, lighter occupation with local governance, a grand bargain involving Arab states, or a deal with Hamas. Each option presents significant challenges and uncertainties.
