I’m certainly nervous about the US sending a CSG there, with their history and all… but in this case, it’s a way to prevent counter offensives by neighboring countries, which do have a tendency towards invading Israel. If they intervene, things have gone reaaaally wrong.

Well this and the fact that the CSG acts as a moving warehouse for selling/providing weapons to Israel.

Biden specifically asked Israel not to use the situation for an easy land grab in his speech on the situation.

It’s a good sign. This and the “first knock” still being in place. Rage is not a good counsel…

Maybe Israel shoots at some Navy ships again to hide their activities (again).

I don’t know what event you’re refering to, but happy to learn if you give me a name or something

In the six days war they attacked the USS Liberty reconnaissance ship with fighter jets and torpedo boats and then invaded the Golan Heights.
