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.

    Wouldn’t it be a better solution though inevitably? I know nothing about the region so please don’t take offense, just seems if Palestine was granted autonomy while it would be rocky at first being free to govern themselves would probably be good in the end right or am I missing a lot on the situation?

      Probably, however I don’t really think that Israel are looking to offer a better solution for Palestinians here.

        isn’t it obvious hamas doesn’t want a state, they were given aid and international support and increasing cooperation with Israel, but they reject all that and choose war. That’s where we’re at now.
