In reply to the discussion: US envoy says Gaza ceasefire deal is on the table, urges Hamas to accept [View all]Egypt had control of Gaza from 1948 to 1967.
Israel captured Gaza during the 6 Day War. Remember that one?
Israel left Gaza in 2005
A total of 38 years.
When Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 - twenty years ago, they left infrastructure and assets that were demolished by angry Palestinians. They squandered those assets which would make them less dependent.
Netanyahu and his minions have the desire to rid Gaza of Palestinians, not "Israel." Someone should
do a poll in Israel about that before making such claims.
I give a fuck about Hamas, and I'm quite sure that there are many many posters here that" give a fuck" about Hamas.

OP
Israel is not offering an end to war without depopulation of Gaza. This would be a brief reprieve of sorts.

The difference is that Hamas doesn't have the capacity to actualize their rhetoric

That doesn't justify a response of collective punishment where hundreds times more innocent lives are taken.

So the only way to "end the suffering" of Palestinians is to facilitate the ethnic cleansing plan?

I could give quotes of Trump saying US must take Greenland. Does that justify killing Americans?

This does not lead to end to the war. Netanyahu said only the ethnic cleansing plan would do that.
