Even though I think Israel is a genocidal settler state that has abused the Palestinian people for decades, I think that a surgical response to the 10/7 attack was justified. However Israel isn't doing anything coming to close to precise, and is instead putting Gaza in the blender to pave the way for more sh**tty startups and garbage restaurants called sh**t like "Disco Party Sandwich".
Highly unrealistic that they ever would attempt this, but they could use their pull with the United States to have the Gulf States and Lebanon extradite Hamas' overseas leadership. Call for an international third party like the UN to serve as a mediator between Hamas and Israel that would cut a deal in which Israel withdraws the IDF and all Israeli settlements in the West Bank and releases low level Hamas prisoners in Israel custody in exchange for Hamas disarming and submitting to the authority of the PA. Perhaps even a UN occupation of the Gaza Strip while negotiations are conducted.
Would Hamas take this deal? Most likely no. But I do think that there is a diplomatic route to dismantling Hamas that doesn't require the wholesale genocide of the Gaza Strip.
What is the math for Netanyahu (or, for that matter, any other MK) to approve this and not have their governing coalition fall apart?
And when it falls apart, how many people supportive of such a thing will be elected to the next Knesset? Maybe 10 to 15 at best, in a chamber of 120.
Yeah hence why I said it's unrealistic that they would attempt this. The grip that the settlers have as a voting bloc is poisoning Israeli politics and is making any chance for peace near impossible.
