How to tell if Hamas won

Submitted by Eric Goodman (United States), Jun 8, 2021 at 12:29

Dr. Pipes suggests that the way to tell if Hamas or Israel won the recent conflict is whether Hamas initiated another round of fighting. Is there a time limit on that test? One month? Six months? Because surely, sooner or later Hamas will re-initiate hostilities: that's their reason for existence after all. It just may take several years for them to regroup.
