Retired U.S. Army Major General and Military Analyst, James Spider-Marx, recently discussed the critical role the U.S is playing in Israeli operations against Hamas. As Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin heads to Israel, he is expected to push Israeli officials to identify milestones in their war against Hamas. Two major objectives distinguish Secretary Austin's campaign.
First, he seeks to understand the strategic outcomes that Israel anticipates and the timeline for their achievement. Given that the U.S is spearheading international support for Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and their objectives, understanding the overall strategy is imperative for continued involvement.
