The headlines are buzzing with the news that China is ramping up its military at a scale not seen since World War II, according to a US admiral. As I read these reports, I can’t help but feel a mix of fear and disappointment at the thought of the world once again teetering on the brink of conflict. It seems like everyone is gearing up for war, with tensions rising and economies hanging by a thread. Is this the prelude to another global catastrophe like World War I?

As I sit here and read about the warnings coming from U.S. officials regarding Gaza “turning into Mogadishu,” I can’t help but feel a sense of unease. The comparison alone is enough to raise eyebrows and spark concern.

Netanyahu himself once said, “A PM Up to His Neck in Investigations Has No Mandate,” referring to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s corruption investigation.
