UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States vetoed a United Nations resolution Friday backed by almost all other Security Council members and many other nations demanding an immediate cease-fire in Gaz…
That's a question for the "war cabinet" of Israel.
Even with only 1 head, the "Hydra" caused horrendous damages and will do it again.
IMO, cease-fire with Hamas is like cease-fire with Putin or cease-fire with Hitler. It's just a time to prepare for the next stage of the conflict. Again and again and again and again. But as long as the people in power stay the same, it won't end.
Look at the Wikipedia article of Hamas and search for "cease-fire"... That's not a new concept in this conflict.
We better hope, they have. And I don't think, their strategy is based on "Let's destroy and decide afterwards". The Israel opposition is also involved in the decision.
2.3 million people will not starve to death
The 2.3 million is obviously exaggerated. That's the total population, but I accept that argument. Cease-fire can reduce "starving to death", but it's clear, that temporary "peace" is not permanent peace.
IMO, Netanyahu has a time window for external support. The longer this takes, the less the support. And that's why they are pushing this operation.
I hope, this ends with a Hamas out of power, followed by the Israel opposition getting rid of Netanyahu, who is very unpopular since the attack on Israel. With a new government in Gaza and a new one in Israel, maybe, this gives them the opportunity to solve this conflict.
Let me explain the Hydra effect to you, maybe you don't get it... Them taking this approach is guaranteed to create the next extremist group within a few years. Israel has already created the next Hamas.

I'd disagree that is guaranteed.
Trying to get rid of Hamas => There is a chance to resolve this forever. Maybe, this will fail. Maybe, it won't.
Not doing anything => There is an extremist group (Hamas) and they will attack again, because their main goal is to destroy Israel. That's what they say.
Come on... You compared Hamas with a hydra, not me. All my previous comments are pretty much signalizing that the hydra comparison is bad, because there is a chance to beat Hamas and solve the problem.
Just because you make that comparison does not make it a fact that trying to get rid of Hamas results in a new extremist organization.
Either we talk about the conflict between Hamas and Israel or about Greek mythology.. 😉
The Hydra effect basically means that for every fighter you kill, two new ones will emerge. Killing the whole family of a young man or women, where do you think that would lead them? That's because the root cause (oppression of Palestinians) is never solved. In fact, Israel is now making it worse with genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Causing violence, mayhem, and oppression is what brought Hamas about, and it's what Israel is doing again to bring more Hamas-like factions about.
