Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip”.

Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.

      Because if any conflict between people, even ones that have been resolved, can be used to justify current violence; there’s no concievable violence that can ever be unjustified.

        My bad. Imagine civilians killed in the original slave raid weren’t Jewish.

        Take your own advice boss.

          I am. If the IDF had conducted a slave raid into Gaza I’d be calling on the US to partner with the world to enact regime change and bring the perpetrators to justice.
