Excellent, Alexander.

Netanyahu has taken Israel headfirst into a hole difficult to surface from.

His arms around Biden at Ben Gurion Airport took America down the same hole. I wrote at the time "Was Biden Netanyahu's Chum or Chump?"

Israel should immediately exchange the hostages for all Palestinian prisoners held in Israel, withdraw from Gaza, leave a weakened Hamas in place and pump humanitarian and cement into Gaza to overt a famine and rebuild.

What other option does Israel have?

Best.
