What is more worrying is that they want to establish some puppet government of Gaza with officials who are selected by Israel, want to dismantle UNRWA, want to continue the occupation and the economic blockade of the enclave and they absolutely refuse to start talking about recognition of the state of Palestine.

Today they even announced that their Knesset has approved the building of 3300 new homes in the occupied West Bank, which speaks volumes of what their end goal is.

This is happening because Israel was too long able to act with an absolute impunity and without any real repercussions by the West, so now they have the feeling that they are above international law and this creates a really dangerous precedent.

One major reason Hamas beat out Fatah in the 2006 elections was because Fatah was a

puppet government... with officials who are selected by Israel

Israel has made absolutely no effort toward peace and, like you and other commenters point out, makes tons of effort to eradicate Palestinians and take their land, so a puppet government in Gaza will do nothing but prolong the conflict and keep these periodic "wars" coming. What's critical to keep in mind is that Israel profits immensly from war, so they have no incentive to stop it. Quite the contrary. Bottom line is that Palestinians will either be wiped out now, or later. Unless action is taken now the human toll will only increase, and the outcome will be the same, genocide.
