I’m not sure the current government even has a path.

Personally, I think that as this point, the best we can do is strike a deal, get the hostages back, withdraw, rebuild and prepare for the next round of fighting a few years down the line. Netanyahu has squandered Israel’s chance of driving Hamas out of power in Gaza; hopefully, we’ll be better prepared next time they attack.

Maybe, once the fighting ends, the Gazans will look around, see how much a disaster Hamas has been for them, and do something about them. But I’ve learned not to rely on miracles.
