Mearsheimer: Under Trump, Gaza Was Ravaged While Israel Faced a Strategic Defeat

Professor John Mearsheimer analyzes the Gaza conflict during the Trump administration, arguing that Israel suffered a major strategic loss despite the overwhelming destruction inflicted upon Gaza. He posits that military force failed to achieve long-term political objectives, instead strengthening resistance, isolating Israel internationally, and revealing the limits of raw power. The outcome, he suggests, was a Pyrrhic victory that ultimately weakened Israel's security position.
