IDF Pauses Gaza Offensive; World Wonders Which 'Red Line' They'll Cross Next
While RT reports Israel's army is 'ordered to halt' its Gaza City offensive, history suggests such pauses are less about de-escalation and more about strategic recalculations—or perhaps just waiting for the next US weapons shipment. Netanyahu, for example, has declared 'final' campaigns in Gaza multiple times: in 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2021. Each time, after a brief respite, the 'security measures'
resumed with devastating effect. This pattern of temporary 'halts' allows the narrative to reset, deflecting international pressure, while the long-term goals remain visibly unchanged. It's not a halt, it's a strategically timed deep breath before the next 'self-defense' operation, generously funded by the American taxpayer. One might ask, how many 'pauses' can a besieged population endure before
the 'halt' becomes permanent cessation of existence?
