Most of the in situ leadership will be trapped in Gaza and killed. If they're in the tunnels, the tunnels will be blown in, so there's no egress. Some will undoubtedly disguise themselves and slip out.What does that look like to you?
Is that the current leadership surrendering?
How much of it?
Who counts as "leadership"?
Is that everyone who has expressed support for Hamas surrendering?
How much support is enough support to count here?
The hostages will be murdered by Hamas and will not be rescued.
The Hamas leadership outside Gaza will be betrayed and assassinated 1 by 1 by the Mossad. They'll still be dying now and again 10 years from now.
The entire enclave of Gaza has been brainwashed to support Hamas and hate Israel. Some will change horses after the Israelis stop fighting. Others will silently hate. Like all defeated peoples. It would take a whole generation - maybe 2 or 3 - to change their opinions.
Best damn question in this entire 12k post thread. No one anywhere has a decent answer. Maybe because there truly isn't one.What happens to Palestine after that?
Are there elections?
Does Israel rule it directly again?
Do they install a puppet government?
A dumb question: -I think for some at least, this is the issue with the "Israel is only in there to defeat Hamas" narrative?
It's unclear what people mean by that. (And I suspect different people mean very different things.)
The IDF is going to kill Hamas until there's no one left alive or outside captivity. They're about halfway there and they have time and resources to finish the work.
