Recent reports and analysis from Politico and Tablet indicate a significant divergence between Israeli military strategy in Gaza and traditional U.S. counterinsurgency doctrines. Current and former U.S. officials, as well as Western analysts, have criticized Israel's approach, which does not conform to the 'clear and hold' strategy commonly employed by the United States. Instead, Israel is reportedly succeeding by avoiding the mistakes made by the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Biden administration has openly criticized Israel's military tactics, highlighting the ongoing debate over the effectiveness of different counterinsurgency strategies.
