The only person who suggested that was yourself.

You were proven incorrect. There’s no need to move goal posts, it’s not that serious, just accept it and move on.

shifting goal posts?

As i wrote, it was international media and un that claimed this. And there was international pressure on Israel

Since when did Netanyahu give a flying F about what international media thinks? Your argument that Netanyahu was swayed by international pressure doesn’t hold water.

i won't deny that it was comfortable for bibi politically at later point of time. there was also hope that it will make hamas to behave more responsibly as they run "country" and to moderate.

but the fact remains that money transfers started because there was international pressure on Israel to do so in order to prevent "humanitarian catastrophe".

feel free to search contemporary news. it important to know history beyond recent flashy headlines.

Let’s circle back, your claim is that Gaza was on the verge of humanitarian crisis, not because of Israel’s 25+ year siege, blockade and regular bombing campaigns, but because the PA stopped paying out salaries to Hamas?

This is absurd and you know it.

at some point of time there was serious fallout between PA west bank and Hamas in Gaza (you need to remember that Hamas was elected as majority party by elections in 2006 and later there was coup attempt by PLO sponsored by usa, that succeeded in west bank and failed in gaza).

As result of this fallout PA stopped transferring money to Gaza to pay salaries and for maintenance of all infrastructure and services.

Mainstream media across the world had headlines that "hundreds of thousands of gazans will starve to death any moment now because they can't afford to buy food because israel blocks money for salaries" and "unmaintained infrastructure will result in mass illness etc.. etc.. etcc.. because israel blocks money for fixing things".

eventually Israel folded and allowed those transfers.

and now this is known as "israel propping up hamas"

You folks being disingenuous as usual. Israel did not facilitate the payments to Hamas because of some humanitarian concern for Gazans(lol), they did it specifically for the purpose of undermining the PA so Netanyahu could point to Hamas and say “see we have no partner for peace” which is exactly what he’s done. [1]

He is directly quoted by many sources saying “ anyone who wants to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support strengthening Hamas” which wholly contradicts your claims. [2]

It’s amazing to see how flat Israeli hasbara falls these days, it doesn’t hit like it used to, most people are now well informed to be gaslighted with lies.

Geopolitics doesnt change because someone was mean. Its all about power and influence. Isreal is key for enacting and protecting American interests in the region. Whats happening in Palestine hurts in the short term but I think average people will forget about it in a year and the US foreign policy will be business as usual. Its brutal to think about but I cant see it going any other way, most of the people upset by whats going on had never heard about gaza before oct 7th.

There is absolutely nothing critical to US national security that Israel can provide the United States. When you say “protecting American interests” what you really mean is protecting Israeli interests. America has no national security interest in Israeli settlement expansion in West Bank, Gaza & southern Syria.

The intelligence Israel does provide the US is related to conflicts & terrorist groups that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Israel itself.

Literally all the Middle East countries host US military bases and are puppet states of the US anyway so I don’t see how Israel provides any value.
