While an endless military operation allows the prime minister to cling to power, it also fulfills a larger ideological goal: preventing Palestinian statehood.
I would even add that in the past 12 years, Netanyahu hasn’t done anything to
solve the situation in the West bank apart from creating many settlements out of which some are even illegal.
Why would he? Instability in the West Bank is an asset to him. As long as Hamas exists, the Israelis have an excuse not to negotiate with Palestinians.
I’d assume the only solution for the Palestinians (at least most of them) is for Israel to cease to exist completely. That’s impossible considering how strong Israel is militarily.
As long as those guys exist, Israel will continue to see them as a threat, and therefore try to eradicate them.
This is why the two sides refuse any kinds of negotiations, which leads to increasing amounts of sadness.
Israel cannot cease to exist because that would be even worse than Holocaust most of 12 million Jews living there would be killed.
I would argue that the 2 sides can negotiate but the extreme right wing supporters will be always present. Just like during Oslo accords, when an agreement was about to be made, an idiot came and killed Rabin…

That’s his plan, he wanted to annex West Bank.

Wouldn’t it be easier to negotiate rather than have a war? Needless to say, there were several offers by Israel and none of them were accepted 🤷♀️🤷

That’s actually an ever better point.
