World War III?
Usually, when the defense minister of one country says he will kill the elected leader of another country, it is considered a declaration of war. You could argue Hamas fired the first shot by refusing to recognize the right of Israel to exist, but so do most countries in the region and cleary, targeting the elected leader of Palestine for assassination sounds more like a declaration of war:
Israel's defense minister advised the incoming Palestinian prime minister Tuesday to fear for his life if Hamas militants start attacking Israel again.
Will Iran and Syria back Palestine against a nuclear Israel? If any actual troop movements begin, clearly the rest of the countries in the region - including occupied Iraq - could take sides. But whose?
