No to Forever Wars in Gaza

Why has the Gaza war gone on as long as it has? Israel was under pressure from the Biden administration which long prevented an Israeli victory. Israel must liberate the entire Gaza region from Hamas thugs and thus stabilize the area. Will this end the conflict? Not quite. However concentrating Gazans to the Rafah area in preparation for voluntary migration to other countries will. The European Union policy will only lead to forever wars in Gaza. The Europeans ignore that forever wars in the Gaza region is hardly consistent with a two-state solution. Even the two-state solution itself will lead to forever wars in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. President Trump should be applauded for no longer advocating as previous administrations did solutions such as the Israeli disengagement from Gaza which unintentionally only served to exacerbate the conflict and thus undermined American interests. In fact, Palestinian conflict-fueling geopolitical claims are inconsistent with American interests. The US needs to pressure the European Union and its member governments to stop meddling in Israeli affairs since this runs counter to American interests.
