Not a chance. We've not even heard the standard appeal for both sides to 'show restraint' yet. Given the scale of the retribution enacted so far and what they openly promise is to come I'm unsure when we even get to that stage.
You'd have to be a mad man to send tanks into that mess even if you did have heavy infantry support.
Hamas with a bit of luck.

Urban warfare is also the most difficult form of warfare. And while a city attack may not be the most difficult type of urban operation—a counterinsurgency involving separating a few enemy personnel from among millions of people while maintaining a military’s legitimacy could be considered more difficult—it is one of the riskiest missions a nation can attempt. There are disproportionate levels of political, tactical, and accidental risk in attempting to liberate a city from a defending force.

From October 16, 2016 to January 4, 2017, US-backed Iraqi security forces conducted a full-scale city attack to liberate Mosul from the Islamic State. The operation was the largest conventional land battle since the attack on Baghdad during the US-led invasion in 2003 and one of the most...

It’s fucking heartbreaking what they are doing and even with all the massive destruction to gaza they are still not satisfied . As I said earlier what Hamas did at the weekend was terrible but this is off the scale and it’s genicide and ethnic cleansing . America should be ashamed of supporting this .
Somebody mentioned the phrase 'mowing the grass' last night. I think this is the stage where they have carte blanche to torch the lot and build something new. Give it a few years and you'll be seeing tweets from UK politicians on sponsored trips taking selfies from the beaches of Gaza.
I doubt they care at this stage.
But in reality, Hamas fighters, if smart would have run anyway. What Is real should have done is let them run if they want. But go on and dismantle any equipment they leave behind and destroy all their underground networks. Level it.
I would say you have a better handle on this to be honest. Youve lived through something more similar to this situation than most. As you say, the likes of john hume, the queen shaking hands with martin mcguinness, mcguinness and paisley becoming friends… what huge people they all were. Amazing really
As soon as the Israelis are balls deep into Gaza, you can bet Hezbollah will kick off, as well as it kicking off in the West Bank. They will also be joined by thousands and thousands of fighters from all across the region. With certain state's in the region funding it. This War won't be quick in any way.Urban warfare is also the most difficult form of warfare.

Whole things a shit show and over the years neither side comes out well
Or the other way around.
Gradually?
The two state solution is dead thanks to the settlement building which has all but obliterated any semblance of a Palestinian territory. What you have is islands of Palestinian communities in a sea of Israeli settlements.
Well, neither's ideal, but if it had to be one????
