We may never know if this incursion into Gaza was an Israeli false flag or not. What we do know is that Netanyahu had domestic political problems related to judicial reforms he was pushing. What may have made the decision to act when they did(if it was a false flag) was US domestic issues, as well. With the removal of McCarthy as Speaker, the US govt. is on the verge of not being able to spend any new money on anything. This is largely why the media narrative, first against Gaetz for orchestrating Mccarthy’s removal, and now the likliehood of Jordan replacing him, has caused such consternation with the administration. The American public has admittedly, belatedly had it with funding the Ukraine war. The only way the Dems., neocons and Biden Administration can get that resolved was to tie it with aid to Israel, our ally (notwithstanding the USS Liberty incident and 911). Netanyahu needed a crisis domestically and the US needed one that would require all US Congress members to vote funds to Israel or face defeat in next years election. They will most likely include in that appropriation bill, at least one more round of funding for Ukraine. If this crisis in Gaza gets settled relatively quickly without any major escalation or other parties getting directly involved, then one can conclude this was most likely a false flag. On the other hand, if this really was a Hamas and other Palestinian groups’ plan, it is likely to escalate and continue for a longer period of time.
