(466 posts)Lets say Biden cut off the @10% of weapons that we sent to Israel and stopped the funding, regardless of the blowback here, etc. Israel would still prosecute the war. But the U.S. would have no say, no ability to sway events at all. So Id assume Netanyahu would cease using any restraint, and the carnage would be even worse.
Both Hamas and Netanyahu have parties with some influence on what they do if the backers just stepped away, stopped providing aid, and washed their hands of the affair, there would be no brakes on Hamas or Israels actions. The backers and aid are all that is keeping Hamas and Netanyahu involved in any sort of negotiations Hamas wants a regional war, and Netanyahu might actually want to destroy the Palestinians and definitely wants to destroy Iran , which would also mean a regional war.
I dont want to imagine what would probably happen afterward throughout the Middle East, which would not stay contained there.
