Israel appears to be a regional hegemon but is facing significant challenges, including a diminishing international support and a gradual loss of control over Gaza and other territories. Prime Minister Netanyahu seems to accept this shift, realizing that the threat of war is more beneficial than actual conflict. Israeli society is increasingly focused on internal issues and the occupation of Palestinian territories, while the military faces scrutiny over its actions in Gaza. The Israeli Air Force, responsible for much devastation, is criticized for prioritizing internal discipline over the humanitarian implications of its operations.
