What is Natenyahu's endgame? He's willing to sacrifice the Israeli hostages, so it's clear that he is going to turn the city into rubble. But he cannot genocide 2 million people. Especially considering half them are children younger than 14.
Do you think he(Natenyahu) will offer a country money(for instance to Egypt) to host Palestinians like the EU did to Turkiye for the Syrian refugees? If not, what is his plan? Where will he stop?
I am pretty certain, as much as I hate to have to see things go this way, that a massive population transfer will be imposed on the Gaza civilian population in the later phases of this war.
The early phases will follow contours commensurate to what can be done w.r.t the hostages, that is the only thing Israel will directly care about to do what it can (hamas-focused strikes only, concurrent backchannel negotiation for swaps and releases etc) till that becomes a lost cause.
The next phases will unfortunately very likely involve a full eviction of the Gazan population, and then the bulldozing of Gaza after their departure (the hamas die hards can stick around if they really want I suppose and see what that looks like).
They will be evicted to the rest of the arab world. Israel and US will likely offer some economic and strategic package to lubricate this, in the end the Gaza population is small drop of total Arab population and the oil wealth to host them.
In manner somewhat resembling how things were done with the Germans post ww2 (those that had already not fled to the new borders imposed on Germany by the victors)...though hopefully with far less casualty rate in the process. About 10 million evicted forcibly (from Poland, Baltics, Czechia and central europe) and another 1 million or so till the 1980s. People often overlook this part of the history and its precedent.
The middle east region even recently is not stranger to these massive population shifts and hosting by other countries. Iranian regime engineered one on purpose at great scale in Syria to support the Assad Regime....again entire areas depopulated and demographically changed pretty much permanently (these people will not return).
Past middle east recently, many millions have left Afghanistan (2 million or so just since the taliban takeover).... 2 million rohingya or so will be permanent part of Bangladesh again by Burmese action to permanently demographically change Arakan area.
There is simply no way Israel will go back to earlier status quo of having Gaza population in proximity to it. This has long been talked about in US deep state and the jewish lobby group (that all laundered the settler expansion narrative for the west already, they have long term praxis established in the power corridors to do this). It will be implemented now.
From their collective security resolution (especially under very right wing Likud ecosystem that has grabbed immense amount of political sway in Israel over last few decades that the centre and left have no option but to back in response to these hamas actions)...and also "pour encourager les autres".
It is pretty baked in, people can watch the following years and rest of the decade and see what transpires for themselves, but I find this course of action or some version of it quite likely from what I have studied deeply about Israel and the US/West.
