The siege is a war crime and most of the statements are straight genocidal. The Gallant quotes seem to have been from a poor translation by Bloomberg that spread everywhere -- and used as evidence at the ICJ. They issued a correction a few days ago. He said "Gaza won't return to what it was before. There will be no Hamas. We will eliminate everything." That entire middle sentence was missing originally. He also said, "We are fighting human animals. This is the ISIS of Gaza."

When Bibi comes out and outright says "in the future, the state of Israel has to control the entire area from the river to the sea" or alternatly "must have security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River" it's hard to argue any other intent.
