In the status quo ante of this attack Israel was not in fact slowly annexing the Gaza.
Not yet, as majority policy. But a sizable contingent is clamoring for exactly that (only they'd prefer it happen much more quickly):

- tptacek 2y agoYes, but that is a response to the October 7 attacks, and this thread is about the antecedents of that attack. (I question the seriousness of that movement; Likud under Ariel Sharon disengaged from Gaza and dismantled the settlements there, for practical reasons. It is not necessarily in the long-term interests of the Israeli state to settle in the Gaza Strip. But it doesn't matter for this thread either way. If it needs saying: all of Israeli's illegal settlement programs are bad.)
