A lot of these discussions get bogged down about who is right, who is wrong, who is morally justified. It doesn't matter at the nation state level.
I'm not familiar with the UN enforced independence, I do know the UN secured the Gaza Egypt border for a period of time.
There are intransigent bad actors on both sides, religious extremists on the Palestinian side, and agitating settlers on the Israeli government side. So no matter what happens, there's always going to be bad activities, that's going to spark up more bad blood at the population level.
Hamas, absolutely wants to create civilian casualties on both sides, because it helps their recruitment, helps reinforce their mission, draws an attention internationally, gets them funding and weapons. Give us money look we stir shit up, we could stir shit up for you.
So going back to the real politic, the current situation is not going to be resolved with a military incursion on either side. I'm not sure who benefits from this situation long-term, but when both parties just keep repeating previous actions, they're stuck in a loop.
Perhaps this latest activity Will be used to depopulate Gaza migrating everybody to the West Bank, we're then hamas's political power would be diminished. I think that would spur a lot more violence, but maybe clearing Gaza is more important than the violence. I'm not sure.
