Netizens have compared the current situation in Israel and Gaza to the USA and Iraq war.

This is following the UN Security council meeting in which a resolution of truce was reached for either parts of the region.

However, Israel has yet to publicly accept the resolutions of the council which proposed a three-phased step toward enabling peace in the region. And this has led to netizens comparing the situation in Israel now to how it was in Iraq back in 2003, with some citizens reiterating the fact that Israel might be defying the world powers.

In October 2002, the United States Congress passed a joint resolution that granted Bush the power to use military force against the Iraqi government. The Iraq War officially began on 20 March 2003, when the US, joined by the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland, launched a “shock and awe” bombing campaign. Shortly following the bombing campaign, US-led forces launched a ground invasion of Iraq. Iraqi forces were quickly overwhelmed as coalition forces swept through the country. The invasion led to the collapse of the Ba’athist government; Saddam Hussein was captured during Operation Red Dawn in December of that same year and executed three years later.
