If you’re a fan of Newshub and this news gives you hope, I would very much urge you to temper that expectation. Because this is not going to be what you are used to. It sounds very much like it's going to be quick and dirty. It's gonna look very different. They are promising us it’s not going to be cheap news - but I'll

US President Joe Biden has already ruled out any involvement in Israel's response, to avoid worsening the conflict.
