I rarely ask "what if" questions regarding #politics, as they can be used to further #conspiracy theories as well.
The facts: The #Hamas and other terrorist organizations, at least part-funded by the #Iranian and #Russian regimes, attacks #Israeli citizens and foreign nationals on its territory, resulting in 1,139 immediate deaths and ca. 250...
...launched its counteroffensive in "...#Gaza on October 7, approximately 👉a million #Palestinians from Gaza, or nearly 45 percent of the enclave’s population, have been sheltering in #UNRWA schools, clinics and other public buildings.👈" (#AlJazeera)**
The #BBC reporting official #UN figures, puts this number even higher:
"About 👉1.7 million people - more than 80% of #Gaza's population - are displaced,...
...with nearly half crammed in the far southern end 👈 of the strip, according to the #UnitedNations."***
"At least 👉half of #Gaza's buildings [have been] damaged or destroyed..." 👈 In other words, "...satellite data analysis obtained by the BBC shows the true extent of the destruction. The analysis suggests 👉between 144,000 and 175,000 buildings across the whole #GazaStrip...
...have been damaged or destroyed. That's between 50% and 61% of Gaza's buildings.👈"***
Let's have a look at one type of the destruction, probably #demolition:
"The #IDF has repeatedly justified its actions by noting that #Hamas deliberately embeds itself in civilian areas and explained destruction of buildings in the light of targeting fighters. But questions have been asked about 👉destruction of buildings...
...seemingly firmly in the control of the #IDF.👈 One example was the #IsraaUniversity, in northern #Gaza - initially badly damaged shortly before 👉being blown up completely in what looked like a massive controlled explosion.👈"***
...reconstruction by themselves. Even for the biggest nations on earth, shouldering devastation on this magnitude would be a challenge.
"#Gaza's economy shrunk by 24% in 2023, nearing its 1994 level..."
"...it 👉would take #Gaza until 2092 just to restore the GDP levels of 2022👈, with GDP per capita and socioeconomic conditions continuously declining." ****
s/: So, what to do with this seashore wasteland, now conveniently devoid of...
...Sunday calling for #Israel to rebuild settlements in #Gaza👈, opens new tab and the northern part of the #OccupiedWestBank."*****
As of the end of January, 2024,
"👉There has been little clarity, however, about #Israel's longer-term intentions,👈 and countries including the United States have said that Gaza should be governed by #Palestinians."*****
...that the #ICJ already, "... 👉ordered #Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the #GenocideConvention and to ensure its troops commit no #genocidal acts in #Gaza..."👈
CONCLUSIONS (1) 👉It is five past twelve for the #Netanyahu government that it will not #annex or otherwise (rather) permanently occupy the #GazaStrip.
(2) Furthermore, as there have been a thousand eyes for an eye with 1.7 million displaced and...
...homeless #Palestinians from #Gaza, the incredible dimension of #Gaza caused by the #IDF calls for big war reparations to be paid to #Gazans by #Israels, most of which have been collateral damage in this war.
(3) With the "#Palestinian death toll [having] passe[d] 25,000..."****** and the roughly 1,200 dead #Iraelis, a scheme to compensate the families of the deceased must be devised.
