Probably because hamas were trying to regroup.

It's just Netanyahu trying to stay in power and out of jail.

While the world is transfixed with Trump's lunacy, Netanhayu gets on with the business of 100% ethnic cleansing, knowing no-one's going to stop him.

And UK political classes seem to continue to be all but silent on Israeli Government blocking all aid and starving innocent civilians. And I believe that western all but silence on this allows the Israeli Government to feel impunity and go ever further. The silence from their allies tells them that allied Governments regard their behaviour as acceptable and so they keep pushing further and further and won't show restraint until western reaction builds enough (or they run out of innocent civilians to kill).

Has Israel ever considered that all they are doing is recruiting for a future Hamas?
I said "Israel" as we all know that is exactly what Netanyahu wants.

Jup the same allied goverments that kept/keep on funding the UN whilst they knew or should have known Hamas was using the humantarian aid to cause more humantarian suffering, for example by withholding clean water, withholding un supplied food etc. etc. all to create an situation where as long as you support Hamas your life would be a little bit better. But hey that's context you lot like to ignore right? Who was screaming genocide this and that back then? tactic is exactly the same, do you secretly think it's even worse of jews do it? or are you gonna play the ''it's all against the muslims card again? or are you gonna recite some pro-hamas propaganda media that claims Hamas where actually students? (and even if they started like that, the relevance is none)
