I'm pretty sure that if we're not seeing more deaths it is because the international community would have trouble trying to justify it. But not because Netanyahu doesn't want it.

They abuse Palestinians in their jails, they kill children, they attack refugee camps... All because "Hamas was hiding there". I'm sorry but no. There's a limit to what you can do. And Israel is surpassing it by far. They are not only killing, they are razing cities, they are basically making Gaza uninhabitable and they are blocking humanitarian aid (when they're not directly destroying it), so yeah, they are trying to starve people.
