Answer

1. There has never been more of a horizon for this war, for a thousand reasons. A. It is a threat to Hamas that can bring about the release of hostages. We already gained Edan Alexander from this (contrary to the anti-Bibi propaganda that Trump was the one who got him released; what did it was our threat to expand the war). B. If they do not surrender, this is the time to go after them and destroy them. Keep fighting for another year or two until they are eliminated. There is no reason we should not succeed at this. This is an opportunity that will not return. C. There is no reason to set a policy for the day after. After we eliminate Hamas, we can bring in whoever we want. Before we eliminate it, nobody will volunteer to deal with it in our place. The innocent people in Gaza do not exist. There are uninvolved people, but there are almost no innocent people. And they definitely have not suffered enough; the proof is that the hostages have still not returned and Hamas has still not surrendered. When that happens, we will know that they have suffered enough.
2. It depends on the law. Whoever owns the area determines what may be done there. In an ordinary city, the housing area beyond the homes does not belong to the residents but to the municipality.
