Why?
I suppose there’s some highly tactical insider reason that this is a good move for Israel but honestly I doubt it. The good guys always seem to get some mistaken sense of nobility out of being stupid.
If you are winning the battle on the ground why would you ever stop before completely subjugating the enemy? What is Hamas threatening to do? Cry? This is Washington and Davos calling the shots again. Israel will never bee done with these monsters as long as the Deep State exists.
