| Nov 1, 2023 at 16:03 | comment | added | Gaslight Deceive Subvert | Lately, there has been a bunch of questions like this and this one: politics.stackexchange.com/questions/81619/… I don't think they can be answered without a good deal of speculation. Israel hasn't stated what its strategy is and even if it would state it, no one can say if it is true or not. | |

| Oct 27, 2023 at 9:32 | comment | added | Wag the mainstream media dog | Is Israel trying to fully recapture the territory of Gaza or are they trying to cause as much chaos as possible before leaving? - that's actually a loaded question. | |

The blockade is not recent.

| Oct 11, 2023 at 20:38 | comment | added | vsz | @Valorum : not just "something", but some sort of retaliation. Although the best solution to the prisoner's dilemma is that both sides cooperate, if one party will show that it will never ever defect (and not doing any sort of retaliation would signal that), then the other party would have the incentive to always defect. Don't take it wrong, I don't mean I'm personally favoring it, I was just talking about what game theory would dictate for them to do, and by lacking any sort of retaliation, the opposite side would have nothing to lose from just attacking again and again. | |

| Oct 11, 2023 at 10:58 | comment | added | uhoh | This is interesting - I came to this question wondering how the heck the question-closers hadn't shut down "What is Israel's strategy...?" immediately, with "We can't possibly know..." comments. Then I discovered that your 2nd sentence asks not for an actual strategy, but instead "the stated purpose" which seems like something way totally different. Kudos to you, nicely done! | |
| Oct 11, 2023 at 8:39 | comment | added | vsz | Isn't it a strategy on its own, that "We have to do some damage to them, because if we do nothing, it will embolden them to do it again because they've learned that there won't be any consequences."? | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 18:24 | comment | added | jcaron | @JonathanReez that may have been the end result, but I hope that wasn’t the “strategy”. Gozl and result can be two very different things. | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 17:33 | comment | added | JonathanReez | @jcaron I'm also pro-America but I'd describe the war in Afghanistan as an incursion that caused a lot of chaos and deaths without achieving anything else in the long run. I suspect the same will happen in Gaza. | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 17:32 | comment | added | jkej | The Gaza strip has been continuously blockaded by Israel since 2007, so maybe it would be more accurate to describe it as "tightened their blockade" or "launched a total blockade" (which is how the linked article describes it). | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 15:43 | comment | added | jcaron | @JonathanReez "trying to cause as much chaos as possible before leaving" does not seem like a "strategy", and it lacks options which seem more "useful" like "destroying Hamas/Hamas leadership" | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 15:09 | comment | added | JonathanReez | @jcaron biased in which direction? I’m pro-Israel if it matters but I think the question is neutral. | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 11:43 | comment | added | jcaron | I feel that the question, as worded, is horribly biased, especially the last part. | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 9:41 | comment | added | Snack Exchange | I think they aren't going to recapture Gaza. I'd say they want to eliminate Hamas from the area and give the Gaza strip to the Fatah party which is willing to a two-state solution. | |

| Oct 9, 2023 at 23:04 | comment | added | Italian Philosopher | At the risk of appearing pedantic, invading implies incursions by ground forces into Gaza. Which hasn't happened yet. Which makes it all the harder to answer the question since we have no observed "invasive actions" to theorize strategies about. Let's say we see broad, massive advances into Gaza, with logistics to support a long stay. Versus smaller, more narrow drives to capture and isolate strongpoints. Those 2 different approaches would give different interpretations of possible endgoals. At this point in time, neither bombings nor blockades give that kind of a clue. | |

| Oct 9, 2023 at 19:59 | comment | added | quarague | @ohwilleke It seems reasonable to expect that Israel would make some public statements about that soon. I would also assume that if this blockage is as draconian as it sounds it will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in a couple of days or a few weeks at most which should lead to other nations questioning what Israel is trying to achieve there. | |

| Oct 9, 2023 at 19:35 | comment | added | ohwilleke♦ | I'm not sure that an answer even exists yet (in that I'm not sure a longer term coherent plan is well formulated at this point). But I'm not going to close as the answer may manifest in a short time period. | |
| Oct 9, 2023 at 18:24 | comment | added | 264 champagne bottles on ice | I guess they'll tell us when they launch the [actual ground] operation. Insofar "No electricity, no food, no water, no gas – it’s all closed" is a bit like Nagorno Karabach was, except this is all openly declared. | |
