Expert Scott Reiter: Hamas won and is the only one working to establish a Palestinian state. He explained that Hamas's "successful" operation last October 7 was not estimated at the required size and that it "blinded" Israel.
He believes that the era of automatic American deterrence has “ended,” as he put it. The American military expert concluded that the CIA, which had become "lazy", should never rely excessively on the Israelis or any other country, especially after Tel Aviv's failure to prevent the Al-Aqsa Flood.
