Israel Gets U.S. Green Light to Wipe Out Hamas Tunnels, and the world can already feel what’s coming. The news broke with Israel’s Defence Minister, Israel Katz, saying the country is ready to clear out what’s left of Hamas’s tunnels in Gaza. According to him, this will happen after the hostage release, under an “international plan” backed by the United States. It’s a plan that looks more like a final clean-up than a peace process and it perfectly fits Trump’s obsession with showing power and dominance, even in other people’s wars.
The obsession behind the backing
This move has Trump written all over it. His obsession with winning, even by proxy, has always shaped his foreign policy. He likes actions that look strong, even if they stir chaos later. Giving Israel a green light to destroy Hamas tunnels is not just about security. It’s about stamping his presence, proving America still calls the shots. For Trump, every global crisis is a stage, and this one gives him another shot to play hero while the world watches in confusion.
What Israel wants
Israel says the tunnels are its biggest threat. They claim Hamas uses them to move fighters and weapons underground, hidden from the army’s eyes. Many of these tunnels were bombed during the war that started after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack. But now, Katz says the mission is to finish the job completely. In his words, the next big task is to destroy every last one of them.
The plan sounds straightforward, but in Gaza, nothing ever is. Destroying tunnels means digging under homes, schools, and streets. It means more displacement, more destruction, and more headlines about “collateral damage.” Israel wants safety; Gaza wants to survive. Both sides are bleeding, but politics keeps calling the shots.
America’s fingerprints
Trump’s America never stays far from drama. The U.S. wants the world to see it as peacekeeper, but in truth, it keeps pouring fuel into fires it claims to control. With Trump’s green light, Israel now feels unstoppable. But when bombs start dropping again, the same America will act shocked, calling for restraint. The pattern never changes, America blesses the war, then pretends to broker peace.
The risk in the plan
The plan looks neat: destroy Hamas tunnels, weaken the group, and end the threat. But this same strategy has played out before. You destroy one tunnel, two more appear months later. And while leaders shake hands on TV, families in Gaza are left with broken homes and no food. Every airstrike promises “security,” yet somehow, insecurity multiplies.
If Trump and Israel keep chasing total control, peace will never come. You can’t bomb an ideology into silence. You can only feed it with more anger and more reasons to fight back
If the real goal is peace, this plan misses the point. You can’t fix Gaza by turning it into dust. You can’t stop Hamas by creating new anger among ordinary people. Israel will probably achieve its short-term goal, tunnels gone, but what next? What happens when there’s nothing left to destroy and still no peace?
