The Israelis are rejecting every possible path for Gaza except for the one which will do the most damage to Europea countries: the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their land.
Israel is, naturally, hostile to Hamas rule.
Despite the fact Hamas came to power through a democratic election (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_election), and remains the most popular party in Palestinian opinion polling (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Palestinian_legislative_election).
Israel has reject the idea of United Nations involvement (www.politico.eu/article/israel-herzog-ambassador-us-critical-un-controlled-gaza/) in governing the Gaza strip.
The Israelis are even unwilling to let the Palestinian Authority, which is largely an Israeli puppet regime, assume governance of Gaza.
This means the Israeli policy preference is clear: the mass expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza.
Other Arab states have already rejected the idea of taking in Palestinians, largely because they do not want to see them expelled from their land. (www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/arab-states-say-palestinians-must-stay-their-land-war-escalates-2023-10-13/)
This means that European countries will inevitably see millions of Palestinians arrive at their shores.
Support for Israel brings no benefits to European countries, and continually results in new waves of mass migration.
