Not urgent enough to drop the paywall though

At this point I would prepare for total destabilization of Middle East. If that what Hamas goal, then mission accomplished and grab the pop corn.

You don’t level Gaza and expect somebody to not be pissed off. Feels like dominoes going down when seen for afar.

A destabilized Middle East benefits the West, not Hamas. The US' interests in Israel and Palestine are largely geopolitical. Pouring money into the conflict and keeping the region in chaos serves to keep the Middle East fractured and thus not a unified threat to the US. Hamas certainly aren't interested in furthering US geopolitical interests, but it's an unavoidable side effect of advancing their actual goals.

This is why the US is happy to provide military assistance to Israel, but also cry foul if Israel decides to try to wipe out Hamas. They want to keep a Goldilocks level of conflict. If there's too much, it'll burn out, if there's not enough, it's not helping their resource (oil) extraction.

I don't think the author fully grasps how influenced the world is by disaster capitalists at the moment.
