Precisely at this moment: Netanyahu gave Hamas exactly what it wants

The cabinet's approval of the entry of the International Stabilization Force (ISF) into Gaza, before disarming Hamas, is, according to the commentator, a lifeline for Hamas at its lowest point. Netanyahu, who promised to dismantle Hamas, is resigning himself to its remaining in power in the Strip.

N12 commentator Almog Boker argues that the cabinet's approval of the entry of the International Stabilization Force (ISF) into the Gaza Strip, even before disarming Hamas, constitutes a lifeline for the terrorist organization precisely when it is at its weakest point. The decision, made quietly in a statement from a political source, grants immunity to the multinational force from Morocco and Uganda that will operate in coordination with the IDF. Boker accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who promised to dismantle Hamas, of resigning himself to his failure and acknowledging that Hamas will remain in control of Gaza. In the short term, the entry will limit the IDF's ability to operate against terrorists in locations where the force is present. In the longer term, it will allow Hamas to rebuild its military wing and deepen its grip on the territory. Boker notes that Hamas is at its weakest point ever, and the decision gives it a lifeline that could come at a heavy cost.
