We can’t know what actions the Netanyahu government did not take in order to avoid incurring the anger of the anti-war (really pro-hostage) branch of Israeli politics, so that’s part of it. Other than that it’s less about how Gaza is better off now and more about how an Israeli peace movement will be essential to eventually ending the war/genocide; it’s then that the true value of having taken those hostages will be realized. This is speculation on my part, but the end of the war will come from these guys, not from the Israeli government.
