re: #434 Venflon

hmm, possible, though one needs to recall this was going on well before hamas took power, suicide bombing, weapon smuggling, all under the rule of the “moderate” fatah regime and with their encouragement.

“The IDF spokesperson just said again that Israel does not aim to occupy Gaza again.”
And now the security minister has said in a televised broadcast that we’re going into a “very long engagement”
I’m just wondering what the middle ground is for these two statements.

Temporary occupation. Clean out the strip, then hand it over to —- to —- someone?
