Opinion | Israel Has a Choice to Make: Rafah or Riyadh
Briefly

U.S. diplomacy to end the Gaza war and forge a new relationship with Saudi Arabia presents Israel with a significant choice: a full-scale invasion of Rafah to eliminate Hamas or normalization with Saudi Arabia and a U.S.-led security alliance against Iran, moving towards a Palestinian state with a reformed Palestinian Authority.
The decision Israel faces is described as one of the most consequential in its history, emphasizing the stark contrast between being a global outcast or a crucial Middle East partner within a wider defense coalition.
There is a lack of Israeli leadership effectively communicating the strategic importance of choosing partnership over isolation, amidst public sentiment driven by trauma and desires for revenge post-Hamas attacks.
