Of course. The US maintains vast weapons stockpiles in Israel as a contingency for events like these.

In a way you can say Palestinians vs land grabbing settlers is like Chinese peasants vs landlords. Things like "village surrounds cities" applies.
The Israeli Death Toll has risen to 200..
Israel and Palestinian Hamas began fighting. The situation in Israel turned into war, which was officially announced by the Israeli leadership and announced the mobilization of reservists. The Israeli Security Council has already approved the ground operation “Iron Swords” in the Gaza Strip and has begun striking it. By the evening of October 7, Palestinian Hamas units advanced 35-40 km from the GAZA strip. At the moment, the Palestinians control about 1.5 thousand square meters. km of Israeli territory. It is worth noting that where Hamas units were located, dozens of killed civilians were found. Women from young to old and men are captured and taken to Hamas-controlled territory. We cannot show this. Hamas captured Israeli strongholds with military equipment, several Merkava tanks, Ahzarit armored personnel carriers and other military equipment. In the morning, Israeli Major General Nimrod Aloni was captured, but Israeli authorities deny this. Now civilians are fleeing en masse from the area of military operations. An Islamic Jihad spokesman said the captured Israelis would be held until all Palestinian prisoners were released from Israeli prisons. Episodes of military operations between Israel and Palestinian Hamas are further in the video.
We saw quite a few of (less?) lucky ones today, too.
They're alive, not dead.
Well I think China is in a good position on the contrary. To Israel, China can say "you can still change your mind about my mediating you and Palestinians in Beijing". On Hamas, China won't criticize because it is a garrilar war against occupation.
This whole event is the latest demonstration that US can not do anything to keep Israel safe, it can neither mediate peaceful settlement. It will only make China's offer more attractive and probably the only offer that two sides can get.
Pax Americana died in 2020 when war broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijian. The shitshow than ensued in 2022 and 2023 are just nails in the coffin.
The Israeli Death Toll has risen to 250..
A US led pact is never going to work to begin with, because it does NOT take in Palestinian in the talk. It is EXACTLY the same as Munich Agreement that UK and France traded Czechoslovakia's right without Czechoslovaks having a say. Saudi Arabia allowing itself to be involved in such process is acting like UK and France back then, it is a shame, not only in the eyes of Palestinians, but also to the rest of the world.
Can such a pack win? I think NEVER if we learn from history.
