DeSantis made clear that Israel fights their own wars and he doesn’t believe they would even come to us and ask us to put boots on the ground.

DeSantis said “Israelis fight their own wars. I don’t think it’s something that they would ask us to come in and do for them. They know what they have to do. They have to uproot Hamas, dismantle their terrorist infrastructure, and destroy them once and for all.”

Israel airstrikes in Syria are less about expanding war, more about war logistics, disabling runways. Reports that Iran FM plane turned around after strikes, but UNCONFIRMED.
Gaza is unraveling with deep humanitarian crisis. Rafah not open, ground invasion imminent.
