Israel is the middle eastern equivalent of Trump’s “I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave” statement.

Two sides of the same shitty, bloody, and corrupt coin.
Except one is a well armed adult, and the other an abused child.
Hamas is well armed and the only abuse their leaders have faced over the past decade is the indignity of a subpar Israeli funded ‘massage’ in their 5* Qatari hotel room.
Since they’re not in Gaza, attacking Gaza won’t accomplish Netanyahu’s stated goal of wiping out Hamas.

I suppose that’s a change to not being open about it in English, but being open about it in Israeli/Hebrew media.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Her insistence that there will be no Palestinian state and that Israel believes there is no prospect of a two-state solution represent a stark, bold, brazen admission.
America’s backing for Israel’s military offensive, which has now killed more than 18,000 Gazans, is predicated on the policy of two states at some point after.
Yet it’s clear now that America is backing Israel militarily, with US weapons and funding, despite two starkly different end point objectives.
The ambassador’s remarks now put Israel in open defiance of every American president’s policy going back 40 years.
