The US invasion of Afghanistan and its subsequent withdrawal has raised concerns about US overreach and the wasting of resources in forever wars. This analogy is now affecting US involvement in Israeli decision-making regarding the Gaza war, with the US sending Lt.-Gen. James Glynn to advise the IDF. While American guidance could be beneficial in terms of postwar planning and improving tactics, there are concerns that it may also lead to a reduction and delay in Israel's invasion, limiting its ability to eliminate Hamas's military apparatus. The delay in making a clear decision has both costs and benefits, and the responsibility lies with the Israeli government and military leadership.
