The stated Israeli Gaza strategy post-October 7, 2023, has remained vague, ambiguous and fluid. While a sizeable minority of Israelis have long rejected the Gaza War and this zero-sum approach, polls suggest that the majority who were once persuaded to back the Gaza War are now rejecting the latest Gaza reoccupation plan and demanding an end to the war. Even at its height of power, Hamas’s armed militant numbers never exceeded 30,000 or roughly 1.2% of the total Gaza population. There is no moral equivalence between the Hamas crimes against Israel on October 7 and Israel’s subsequent crimes against Gaza. The regimes of Hamas, Netanyahu and Trump are all examples in their own ways.
