Clearly, when you want to make a final colonial usurpation of a population under your complete control, the most efficient method is to force them into a corner with the worst representation and power dynamics possible, place them under mortal strain indefinitely, wait for somebody to crack, then exercise collective punishment.

I should remind you that Bibi said right out loud that Israel was funding Hamas in order to guarantee there would *never* be a unified, effective Palestine.

And don't let me sound like I minimize the event; there is no question that Hamas decided to open this war with an unthinkably brutal civilian slaughter and capture, and this time on the scale of the deliberately "10x" death toll the apartheid state typically wreaks upon Palestinian civilians, as well as opening a major territory conflict beyond 1949 borders. That is an undeniable provocation Netanyahu & co. are openly salivating to be forced to respond to.
