Here’s how many observers interpret what he seeks to attain:
Erase
or cripple Palestinian political sovereignty
By devastating Gaza’s infrastructure, governance, and
population capacity, Netanyahu can make any future independent Palestinian
state nearly impossible to sustain. This aligns with the position of many in
his coalition who reject a two-state solution entirely.
Consolidate
his own political survival
Netanyahu has faced massive protests, corruption trials, and
political instability. War shifts the national focus to “security,” rallying
his right-wing base and delaying domestic accountability.
Cement
Israel’s control over territory
By depopulating or making parts of Gaza uninhabitable,
Israel could increase its long-term security buffer and limit the demographic
growth of Palestinians near its borders.
Appease
ultranationalist coalition partners
His government depends on far-right figures who openly call
for resettling Gaza with Israelis and removing large numbers of Palestinians. Maintaining
their support keeps his fragile coalition in power.
Send a
deterrent message regionally
By showing overwhelming force, Netanyahu signals to
Hezbollah, Iran, and other adversaries that challenges to Israel will be met
with total military dominance.
Align
with Zionist ideology
Some in Netanyahu’s camp believe a “Greater Israel” —
without a viable Palestinian state — is the only acceptable outcome. The
destruction of Gaza is seen as a step toward making that reality irreversible.
Moral
of the story
It may be concluded that the genocide accusation isn’t just
about punishing Hamas; it’s about shaping a future where Palestinian political
and demographic influence is permanently weakened, while Netanyahu secures his
political survival and cements an ideological vision.
