And why did Netanyahu decide to go on another rampage in Gaza? As Nathan Thrall of the International Crisis Group points out, the real motive is neither vengeance nor a desire to protect Israel from Hamas rocket fire, which has been virtually non-existent over the past two years and is largely ineffectual anyway. Netanyahus real purpose was to undermine the recent agreement between Hamas and Fatah for a unity government. Given Netanyahus personal commitment to keeping the West Bank and creating a greater Israel, the last thing he wants is a unified Palestinian leadership that might press him to get serious about a two-state solution. Ergo, he sought to isolate and severely damage Hamas and drive a new wedge between the two Palestinian factions.
