Gaza has a border with Egypt.

Thank you for providing a source for this argument. The article calls him aspiring autocrat, and I don’t disagree with that. He’s a corrupt and very shrewd politician.

Israeli settler terrorism is a crime according to Israeli law. It should be prosecuted accordingly.

Hamas is also in the West Bank, but they’re weaker there. There are plenty of other armed groups there as well and they have been active recently.

So much we agree on.

I have heard from attacks on schools, hospitals, and safe zones. These were all used by combatants and thus legal military objectives under international humanitarian law.

I have never even heard of bomb shelters existing for civilians in Gaza.

It has been an unresolved political issue for decades. Israel doesn’t have a clear strategy for it. Maybe you like quagmire better.

That’s only some extremists, not an official plan.
