Much of the world is against Israel in this so Biden has to show concern for civilian casualties or alienate countries like Saudi Arabia.

Feels weird for me to say this but MBS is one of the "good guys". We need to ally with guys like Sisi and MBS against Iran. So we can form the Sunni bloc against the Shiite bloc.

Hamas is like ISIS so we'll have to destroy them.

But Hamas is smart enough that they'll able to use civilians so they can piss off the Arab Street against Israel.

That’s exactly what Hamas is counting on. At this point it looks like the ground war in Gaza won’t be as extensive as planned. The IDF themselves would likely suffer serious casualties in that scenario anyways and I think Biden is now telling Israel to hold off on their plans to destroy everything and be more selective in their targeting. This will leave Hamas mostly intact so hard to say if Bibi will go along with it.
