    Nothing short of an outside military intervention is going to stop Netanyahu from invading Rafah.

    Unfortunately, any overt moves would only bolster Netanyahu, especially among the religious extremists amongst Israelis and Americans.

    Russia is in a good position to do something. They're already on most of the worlds shit list. Unfortunately, Israeli air defense is better than Ukraines.

      You don't need military intervention to stop Israel, if the US stops funding them, the war stops that instant.

        Which realistically won't happen anytime in the near future. This is just gonna continue until there's an intervention or Israel decides they've killed enough civilians.

      I think naval warfare would be more effective than air. Destroy Isreal's supply chain.

      Edit: shit, just remembered... Russia isn't known for their navy...

      Does Russia not also benefit from the Gaza war existing and depleting the West's supply of artillery etc. that would otherwise be adding more craters to Belgorod?

      Not to say they shouldn't intervene morally, but I would generally expect the Kremlin to pursue a far more self-interested geopolitical calculus.
