Israel aims to cut Gaza ties after Hamas defeat
bbc.com
By Henri Astier BBC News
Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its "responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip".
Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.

People can still read and absorb oral tradition. Most of this dispute is based on shit from 3000 years ago saying 100 years is too far for it to matter is objectively idiotic.
It's not if the answer to it is to conduct a fresh genocide to remediate the issue. There are peace lines from 1967 that are broad enough where a defacto Arab state and a defacto Jewish state could live side by side. And since the mid 1990s it's been primarily Palestinians rejecting that idea on favor of advocating for genocide.
Clearly it did not work because the conflict is still ongoing and has been since like 12ad.
Yes but when peace doesn't work, the weaker party doesn't tend to prosper.
That's not a point, that's a platitude.
Eh, it's a point. Starting an offensive war with a more prosperous, more militarized neighbor is a dumb move on the part of the attackers.
It's not and stop double replying.
It's an incredibly dumb move. Oh let me attack my bigger, stronger neighbor who provides most of of my utilities. Let me use my aid money to prepare flail uselessly fighting them instead of building up my country so I can actually defeat them.
Of in 2004 Hamas launches zero rockets from Gaza, launches zero terrorist acts from Gaza and instead smuggles all that gear into the West Bank and launches the same attacks from there. The whole world would be calling for an end to Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the establishment of the '67 borders there just like was done I'm Gaza.
Jesus Christ. Dude just stop, seriously. You don't have a point, take a nap or at the very least leave the grown ups alone.
Also how routine is it if the last time it happened was 1971?
Oh ii see t's ok to do just don't do it often, gotcha.
That was your characterization of the situation on the ground in the Gaza Strip. That characterization is obviously incorrect. Pointing it out isn't some faux pas.
The issue here is that both sides have historically done evil shit in the region. But since the end of the Cold War, funding for overt traditional war by the Arab side has dried up and as such most of the atrocities done in the name of that war have too. But terrorism on the part of the Palestinians has risen dramatically. And that rise really can't be attributed to Israeli actions.
It's happened literally every day since 1948, Israel didn't even deny it. You've clearly not read much into the matter.
Palestinians are Arabs and I think that's where we stop because you're clearly just trolling and aren't quite aware of what you speak on.
You gave one example of it from 1971. Since 1971 there have been numerous peace agreements, cease fires and summits that were all designed to create a functional 2 state solution in the region and peace between Israel and her neighbors.
Correct, and Palestine is not the one breaching at the moment, Israel is. The settlements broke treaty and continue to let alone the war crime of walling in a population, cutting supplies and bonding them day and night often in areas Israel know are meant to be safe zones.
Stop simping, they're both shit, it's both their faults so stop already.
What treaty? The Palestinians backed out of the Oslo Accords that would have ended these settlements and Gaza was a unilateral action by Israel. Since then Hamas took over the strip and wholesale murdered the PA there. Agreements have been between Israel and the PA and Israel and Hamas.
They were illegal prior to the Oslo accords too.
You're trying real real hard to simp for Israel but you don't seem to have an actual point aside from "Palestine bad Israel good."
Palestine never agreed to the Oslo Accords. And this fight is taking place in Gaza, instigated by the government of Gaza which has had zero settlements since Israel forcibly removed all the settlers in 2004/2005.
I didn't bring up the fucking Oslo accords! You did! At least keep track of your bullshit argument. Also there are settlements there right now, Israel doesnt deny it so stop simping.
What treaty made them illegal?
Sweet christ, the Oslo accords.
Are we really at the point where you need the same answer twice even though the rest are in writing directly above?
may you source that?
Dude, your like 40 comments into a conversation no one cares about using a different username is just as obvious as using your regular username.
i'm not an alt of mwguy if that's what you're getting at. I sort by new comments and enjoyed this chain, but I wanna know more about the oslo accords.
