i won't deny that it was comfortable for bibi politically at later point of time. there was also hope that it will make hamas to behave more responsibly as they run "country" and to moderate.

but the fact remains that money transfers started because there was international pressure on Israel to do so in order to prevent "humanitarian catastrophe".

feel free to search contemporary news. it important to know history beyond recent flashy headlines.

Let’s circle back, your claim is that Gaza was on the verge of humanitarian crisis, not because of Israel’s 25+ year siege, blockade and regular bombing campaigns, but because the PA stopped paying out salaries to Hamas?

This is absurd and you know it.

Since when did Netanyahu give a flying F about what international media thinks? Your argument that Netanyahu was swayed by international pressure doesn’t hold water.
