Terrorists were the first step…sounds like the US was interfering before
Hamas was always a "tame" terrorist force.
Or put another way, the only reason why Hamas existed in the first place is because Israel picked them specifically to be the face of Palestinian resistance in Gaza, and constantly paid them millions to keep them in power, while at the same time, brutally crushed any other groups who might have pushed for Palestinian rights.
There were a bunch of news articles shortly after Oct 7th talking about how Netanyahu's "cash to Hamas" bribery for peace deal had blown up in his face, and no. It did not.
This has been the plan for decades. All Israel needed was an excuse and a somewhat friendly president who could ignore the US' previous policy of paying lip service to a two-state solution.
