Analysts and former diplomats note that one thing is clear: Israel, for better or worse, dictates events in the Middle East. The United States has been relegated to a supporting role as its ally wages war on multiple fronts.
This is a major change. Whether on the battlefields of Iraq or in the presidential retreat at Camp David, the United States has long seen itself as the "central player" in the Middle East, acting boldly, if not always successfully, to change the course of the area's deadly history.
Netanyahu's goal - according to experts - is to use the momentum of the October 7 Hamas attacks to wipe out Israel's enemies at all levels. Israel's defenders see it as a "once-in-a-generation" opportunity to reshape the region's dangerous landscape.
Moreover, a wider conflict in the region would almost inevitably draw the United States. They have already deployed warships to the Mediterranean Sea to deter Hezbollah and Iran, sent commandos to Israel to help hunt down Hamas hostages and leaders, and helped Israel shoot down Iranian missiles.
