In the wake of the shocking invasion of southern Israel by Hamas militants on Oct. 7, 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to destroy Hamas.

Key Points: 
  • In the wake of the shocking invasion of southern Israel by Hamas militants on Oct. 7, 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to destroy Hamas.
  • On that same day, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant went further, stating, “We will wipe this thing called Hamas, ISIS-Gaza, off the face of the earth.
  • The immediate goals were to force the Taliban from power and destroy al-Qaida.
  • Very little thought or resources were put into what happened after those goals were attained.
  • That’s what happened in Afghanistan, and that is what could happen in Gaza.

A war of weak results

    • The U.S. invasion toppled the Taliban from power by the end of 2001, but the war did not end.
    • Nongovernmental and international relief organizations began to deliver humanitarian aid and reconstruction support, but their efforts were uncoordinated.
    • U.S. trainers began creating a new Afghan National Army, but lack of funding, insufficient volunteers and inadequate facilities hampered the effort.
    • The Taliban entry into Kabul in August 2021 merely put an exclamation point on a campaign the United States had lost many years before.

A goal that’s hard to achieve

    • An Israeli invasion of Gaza could well lead to an indecisive quagmire if the political goal is not considered ahead of time.
    • Israel has invaded Gaza twice, in 2009 and 2014, but quickly withdrew its ground forces once Israeli leaders calculated they had reestablished deterrence.
    • The newly declared goal of destroying Hamas as a military force is far more difficult than that.
    • Israel has the capacity to level Gaza and round up segments of the population, but that may not be wise.
