Let us assume that Israel manages to defeat Hamas completely or sufficiently inside Gaza. Let us also assume for the sake of argument that Israel uses the unexpected "opportunity" of October 7 to rid itself of the Palestinian Authority and be done once and for all with the West Bank. Both Gaza and the West Bank will disappear, thus completing the abolition of Palestine and the achievement of the ethnically pure Jewish supremacist state.
Israel might accept to live with perhaps half of the 5-6 million Palestinians currently under its occupation by expelling most of them into Egypt and Jordan in one final act of ethnic cleansing. Those Palestinians it will keep coralled in Yahweh's heavenly paradise will, according to the textbook example of what colonialism does, serve as cheap, domesticated, discriminated, indentured laborers. Very convenient.
BUT....
Can Israel live with the Hezbollah threat along its northern border? Everyone says that Hezbollah is far, far more deadly and dangerous than Hamas, and it shares with it the objective of erasing the fancy Jewish resort on the Mediterranean from the map. Hezbollah's rockets and missiles are far more deadly than those of Hamas. Its fighters have trained for ten years in the Syrian war.
Regardless of the outcome of the current battle in Gaza, there will come a time when Israel will have to deal with Hezbollah which has often prided itself on its objective of mounting attacks into the Galilee similar to the Hamas attack: Incursions, attacking civilians in Jewish settlements, etc.
Therefore, Lebanon will soon be the target of an Israeli campaign that will make the ongoing Gaza child-killing orgy look like a walk in the park. Perhaps the Americans will also join the party if Hezbollah is too tough to dislodge from the Israeli border. That is why they dispatched the 6th fleet to the eastern mediterranean.
