Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to talk about 'total victory,' despite tensions with the United States – but the fact that he's sending a delegation to Washington highlights the balance of power between the two countries
The postwar rehabilitation of Gaza, aided by Egypt and Qatar, depends on the establishment of a Palestinian regime which, for now at least, also depends of Yahya Sinwar agreeing – and there's no one in Hamas strong enough to tell him what to do.
