In the most explicit comments yet on the government’s strategy, defence minister Yoav Gallant told the Knesset foreign and defence committee that Israel would no longer have “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip” once the war was over.

They mean they’re going to cut the water and power for good. The blockade I’m sure will remain in place.
So they are going to starve out the survivors from the war, while not allowing anyone else to help them?
Hearts and minds right there.
I believe help could come from their border with Egypt at that point.
Yep. Israel is likely to build a heavily defended 50’ tall border wall, stop supply services to Gaza, and relinquish all control of the Rafah Crossing at the Egyptian border. It would effectively make the Gaza Strip and whatever happens inside it not their problem.
