I rarely ask "what if" questions regarding #politics, as they can be used to further #conspiracy theories as well.
The facts:
The #Hamas and other terrorist organizations, at least part-funded by the #Iranian and #Russian regimes, attacks #Israeli citizens and foreign nationals on its territory, resulting in 1,139 immediate deaths and ca. 250...

Still facts:

#BenjaminNetanyahu and his government knew about the impending attack but did not prevent it.

Let's have a look at one type of the destruction, probably #demolition:
"The #IDF has repeatedly justified its actions by noting that #Hamas deliberately embeds itself in civilian areas and explained destruction of buildings in the light of targeting fighters.
But questions have been asked about destruction of buildings...

One example was the #IsraaUniversity, in northern #Gaza - initially badly damaged shortly before being blown up completely in what looked like a massive controlled explosion.

So what does the #Netanyahu government do to dispell *any suspicion of ethnic cleansing and an illegal expansion of #Israeli territory?*
Well, as @reuters reports, the #Israeli #UltRight (#Nahala organization) has a clear plan, it seems:
"Hundreds of members of the #Israeli settler community gathered for a convention in #Jerusalem on

...Sunday calling for #Israel to rebuild settlements in #Gaza, opens new tab and the northern part of the #OccupiedWestBank."*****
As of the end of January, 2024,
"There has been little clarity, however, about #Israel's longer-term intentions,
