AT LEAST 100 KILLED IN ATTACK BY HAMAS INTO ISRAEL

Sabbath tranquility in Israel was ruptured on Oct. 7, marking the 50th
anniversary of the Yom Kippur War and 43 years to the day that Egypt’s president
Anwar Sadat was assassinated by Muslim Brotherhood terrorists. 




Early on Saturday morning Hamas unleashed a barrage of rockets upon Israel,
reaching as far as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. 

This audacious attack shines a glaring spotlight on the failures of the Biden
administration’s foreign policy, the unholy alliance between Iran and Hamas, and
the global implications that reach as far as Beijing. 



AT LEAST 100 DEAD AS HAMAS LAUNCHES UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK ON ISRAEL, NETANYAHU
SAYS NATION IS 'AT WAR'



Let’s look at all the pieces on the global chessboard and what it means for the
U.S. under Biden’s leadership going forward.



The Unholy Alliance: Iran and Hamas

Iran's support for Hamas is not a secret. What’s alarming is the extent to which
this alliance has been fueled by the Biden administration’s billions in aid to
Iran. Despite the theological divide between Iran’s Shiite theocracy and Hamas’
radical Sunni ideology, their common goal of annihilating Israel unites them. 

> Israel faces a grueling struggle ahead, fighting on multiple fronts while
> facing international scrutiny. 



Look for Iran to bring in its most powerful proxy in the region, Lebanon’s
Hezbollah, with an arsenal of some 100,000 rockets aimed at Israel. 

The Hostage Crisis: A Calculated Move



Hamas has escalated the conflict by taking Israeli hostages, likely confined in
fortified bunkers. Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu has responded with full
military mobilization. The recovery of these hostages will be a long, costly
endeavor, potentially involving thousands of casualties.

The Palestinian Power Vacuum: West Bank in the Balance

As if the situation weren't volatile enough, Hamas is likely making a play to
unseat the geriatric Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. Should it
succeed, a new front will open in the historic Jewish lands of Judea and
Samaria, complicating Israel’s military calculus.

LIVE UPDATES




The "Proportionality" Trap: International Scrutiny

Israel, while defending its very existence, will be subject to calls for
"proportional" response from the international community. It’s a twisted irony
that Israel is expected to moderate its self-defense while under indiscriminate
attack.

Video

Biden’s Track Record: A Litany of Failures



The Biden administration’s foreign policy failures have had a profound impact
since the president took office. From the disastrous withdrawal from Kabul to
the lack of deterrence against Russian aggression in Ukraine, the U.S. has
displayed glaring weaknesses. Adding insult to injury, recent reports suggest
that Iran has successfully placed agents of influence within the Biden
administration. This is not just a breach of national security; it’s a chilling
testament to the level of Tehran’s ambitions and a direct contributor to the
emboldening of Iran and its proxies like Hamas.




The Saving Grace: The Abraham Accords

Israel finds itself in a precarious situation, but it would be in even greater
difficulty were it not for the Abraham Accords. Orchestrated by the Trump
administration, this visionary diplomatic effort normalized relations between
Israel and several Muslim nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain,
Sudan, and Morocco.

These agreements have created a strategic realignment in the region, providing
Israel with a broader coalition of nations that share an interest in curbing
Iranian aggression and fostering stability. While the Abraham Accords may not
directly mitigate the immediate crisis, they offer a long-term framework that
isolates malign actors like Iran and Hamas, giving Israel strategic depth and
diplomatic leverage it didn’t have before.



Beijing Watches: The Taiwan Connection



As the crisis unfolds, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping is observing
America's response closely. Any sign of American indecisiveness or weakness will
be analyzed as a factor in China’s own geopolitical calculations, particularly
concerning Taiwan. In a world increasingly defined by great power competition,
how America responds to the Israel-Hamas crisis will resonate far beyond the
Middle East.

Video

The Road Ahead: High Stakes, Higher Costs



Israel faces a grueling struggle ahead, fighting on multiple fronts while facing
international scrutiny. 




Hamas, emboldened by Iranian support and American weakness, will continue its
assaults. The potential collapse of the Palestinian Authority adds yet another
layer of complexity.

In this global chessboard of high stakes, the ripples of weak leadership can
spread, affecting alliances, emboldening enemies, and altering the geopolitical
landscape.

America must urgently recalibrate its foreign policy, purge its administration
of foreign influence, and stand firmly with its allies. 



If it fails to do so, the consequences will reverberate far beyond the borders
of Israel, impacting the power dynamics of a world already teetering on the
edge.
