Yep, and until they do, they are just as responsible for what goes on there.

In islam, this is known as a "hudna".
A "truce" which is really time to regroup and get ready to attack again.

I'm fairly sure BiBi knows what he is doing politically and militarily, so o.k.

Myself...I'd be horrible at this. I'd retake Gaza, deport the inhabitants, make the area closest to Israel a demilitarized zone and turn the coast into coastal resort with some commercial ports.

And that is why I don't rule the world.

[DefiantMassRINO]

I would have firebombed Gaza into oblivion like Hamburg, Tokyo, and Dresden.

If all that remains is ash, there are no starving children for Hamas to use as propaganda props for the Western media.

It's kill or be killed.  Hamas fired the first shot.  Israel will fire the last one.

Netanyahu defies Biden, green-lights offensive into Hamas stronghold

WND by Jake Smith Daily Caller News Foundation 3/15/2024

'Preparing for the operational side and for the evacuation of the population'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the green light on Friday for Israel to launch a ground invasion against a Hamas stronghold in south Gaza, despite the Biden administration’s warnings, according to NBC News.

Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is “preparing for the operational side and for the evacuation of the population” in Rafah, the southernmost region of Gaza bordering Egypt and a hotbed of remaining Hamas terrorists, according to NBC. President Joe Biden said last week that an Israeli operation in Rafah would be crossing a “red line.”

“Israel has no choice but to go into Rafah, where four Hamas battalions and the Gaza-Egypt tunnels that resupply Hamas with weapons are still standing,” Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, previously told the DCNF. “If not, Hamas will emerge victorious and Israel will be vulnerable to more Oct. 7’s as Hamas has threatened.”

Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and killed over 1,200 civilians and took hundreds of others hostage, prompting the ongoing counteroffensive by the IDF in Gaza.

    NEW | The IDF said on March 13 that it plans to move civilians from Rafah to “humanitarian enclaves” in the central Gaza Strip before any Israeli offensive into Rafah.

    There are approximately 1.4 million displaced Palestinian civilians currently in Rafah

The UAE is not going to waste money investing in a place overrun with Palestinians.  Get rid of the Palestinians first, and then the UAE will pony up.

White House wants to see Netanyahu’s plan to attack Rafah

The White House has yet to review Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s plans to invade Rafah but “would welcome” seeing the specifics.

Netanyahu reportedly signed off on new attack plans on Friday, despite negotiations regarding a six-week ceasefire in Gaza between Israel, Hamas, and third-party nations, including the United States.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby briefed reporters on the latest developments surrounding the Gaza war on Friday.

“We certainly would welcome the opportunity to see it,” he explained when asked about Netanyahu’s potential offensive. “We can’t support a major offensive in Rafah that doesn’t also include a credible, achievable, executable plan to take care and to the safety and security of the more than a million Gazans that are seeking refuge in Rafah.”

“To move in right now in a major way without a proper accounting for all those people would as we’ve said, that’d be a disaster,” he continued. “We’re going to keep talking to the Israelis about this.”

Absolutely! The second those bastard in the White House or the Senate or the House saw what the plans were they would tell Hamas and the Iranians...so the smart move by Netanyahu would be to lie to them and then do something completely different.

Why in Hades would Israel give LIEden's Israel-Hating staff their plans so they can pass it on to Hamas?!

Israel should give fake plans so Hamas can be shepherded into traps and LIEden's Hamas spies exposed.

Biden Summons Israel for Talks; Says Netanyahu’s Position on Hamas Is ‘Nonsense’

Joel B. Pollak 18 Mar 2024

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters at the White House on Monday that President Joe Biden had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to oppose Israeli plans to attack Hamas in the city of Rafah.

Sullivan added that the president had asked Netanyahu an “interagency” team of military, defense, and humanitarian officials by “the beginning of next week” to meet with U.S. officials in Washington and negotiate over a Rafah operation.

He said that the Biden Administration might approve limited, targeted strikes in Rafah, but would refuse a broader Israeli invasion of the town, saying that such an invasion would put civilians and humanitarian aid corridors at risk.

Rafah is the last stronghold of Hamas, on the Egyptian border in Gaza. It is home to the last four battalions of Hamas, and is thought to be where Hamas leaders are hiding and keeping Israeli hostages. It is also a key smuggling route.

Biden has publicly opposed any Israeli operation in Rafah since February, at least until there is a plan to evacuate the one million Palestinian civilians who have fled there. Netanyahu has said that not to invade Rafah is to lose the war.

Netanyahu and Biden spoke, just days after Biden endorsed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) demand that Israel hold new elections to replace Netanyahu, calling him an “obstacle to peace.” (Netanyahu called his remarks “inappropriate.”

Netanyahu’s version of the call was terse. “We discussed the latest developments in the war, including Israel’s commitment to achieving all of the war’s goals: Eliminating Hamas, freeing all of our hostages and ensuring that Gaza never gain constitutes a threat to Israel – while providing the necessary humanitarian aid that will assist in achieving these goals,” he said, in a statement released Monday by the Government Press Office.

Sullivan said that Biden had specifically criticized Netanyahu’s plans to attack Hamas in Rafah. Sullivan said that Biden had addressed what he called a “straw man,” the “nonsense” argument that to refrain from attacking Hamas in Rafah means giving up on defeating Hamas.

Antisemetic? A ridiculous assertion.

One can love what Netanyahu did --- AND admit in good conscience that the PM flying 6,000 miles for the sole purpose of personally telling the whole of the elected US Congress --- from the well of the House of Representatives --- to vote against the sitting President's proposed policy initiative is the *quintessential* example of Israeli interference in US politics. And, it's not the only one.
