Israel going too mask off threatens to unite the Arab world and kick off a much bigger conflict that would threaten US interests. The cooler heads at the pentagon sent out a memo to all their media assets telling them to crank the "nuance meter" slightly more towards the Palestine side to send a message to Bibi to fucking cool it or he's gonna be looking as less concrete western support.

There’s also this looming issue of what happens with those Gazans that are fleeing into Egypt. Egypt neither has the resources nor political stability to absorb that influx of refugees, and I’m absolutely certain Israel is going to deny a huge chunk of them, if not all of them, re-entry to Gaza when/if the dust settles. Disgruntled refugees plus renewed vigor of the anti-Israel Muslim fundamentalist bloc has the potential to upend things in Egypt, so there’s a big motivation to keep the number of refugees to a minimum.

Israel has never allowed displaced Palestinians to return, they're not likely to start now.
