Israel continues to strive for victory in the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. While the killing of Yahya Sinwar, a key figure in Hamas, was a significant blow to the terrorist organization, it does not mark an absolute victory for Israel. Hamas continues to try to leverage hostages to force an IDF withdrawal in Gaza, and Hezbollah remains a potent threat in Lebanon. Israel is displacing the civilian population in the north of Gaza in an effort to create a safe, Hamas-free zone. In Lebanon, the IDF is destroying Hezbollah's infrastructure along the border to prevent a mass invasion of northern Israel. Israel also faces the challenge of responding to Iran's ballistic missile assault while maintaining the support of the United States. The Biden administration envisions a deeper integration of Israel into the region and a robust coalition against Iran, including Israel-Saudi normalization.
