Lets remember and spread the word that this might be because of the vast amounts of oil and gas that legally belongs to Palestinians... If they had a country.

To me, the whole "oopsie, we didnt see Hamas prepare for a strike" and now "well, lets eradicate them" just fits to the narrative of "welp, dont want them to have the oil and gas. How can we make sure it will be ours?"

This offers an opportunity to distribute and share about US$524 billion among the different parties in the region and promote peace and cooperation among old belligerents, the study notes.

As if finding new raw resources on someone's land has ever led to peace.
