Peace

In normal times history moves at a slow pace but since the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023 things have happened at warp speed. First off Israel retaliated by invading Gaza. Second, they used exploding cell phones to take out the leadership of Hezbollah, and third they destroyed the left-over military equipment that remained in Syria. This then allowed Israel to fly over Syria unopposed which allowed them to achieve air superiority over all four areas, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. When Israel attacked Iran neither Russia or China came to their aide destroying the threat of the axis against the US which was supposed to be a joining of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. In less than two years Israel has gone from a country surrounded by enemies where Israel was on the defense to a country that is now on the offence and in control of its former enemies. The news about Iran rebuilding their nuclear facilities is counter balanced by Israel’s ability to quickly destroy any perceived threat. This opens the door to the possibility of major changes in the Middle East. If Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords it will allow the oil rich Arab countries to join with Egypt and Jorden in relations with Israel and the long awaited peace may arrive.
