He must have finally figured out that even though Israel has the strongest Army in the ME it is still in a very precarious situation because it is surrounded by countries that at best tolerate them and at worst hate them. Hodges has apparently also recognized that almost all Global South countries are either neutral or lean to favor the Palestinians.
