The memes declaring "Gaza must be freed from Hamas" miss the critical point that after Netanyahu again broke the January ceasefire, Hamas themselves said they will relinquish all power in Gaza, release all hostages, and leave, on the condition that the Israeli military stop occupying Gaza—and Netanyahu rejected the offer because he refuses to give up Gaza.

This man is a war criminal committing genocide, and people are still focused on Hamas as if they control Israel's military.

> because he refuses to give up Gaza

Not even that...Israel has never had any great interest in Gaza as real estate. Rather, Netanyahu refuses to give up on Hamas as a bogeyman and for its nuisance value, which is why he has been propping it up

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from
