What is the secret to quiet? I dont know. I am asking you.
In most of recent history going back about 17-18 years (since the Disengagement, I think), there was never any sustained quiet on the border with Gaza. Hamas or their buddy organizations in Gaza would shoot regular salvos of rockets into Israel. Up until the end of Netanyahu's last term he never succeeded in sustaining any significant period of quiet by that border.
When the Lapid - Bennett government was in power, the Gaza border was quiet pretty much the entire time.
Now that Netanyahu is back in power, rockets have started flying again.
So what is the difference? What did Bennett/Lapid do that Netanyahu doesn't do, or vice versa? Were they afraid of the Bennett/Lapid government for some reason, fear of retaliation, in a way they are not afraid of the Netanyahu government? They know Netanyahu never really responded, he let the money flow to Gaza most of the time, he would usually respond by attacking empty buildings and sand dunes, but they never really tested the Bennett/Lapid government. Were they hesitant to shoot rockets with the government including Mansour Abbas - it seems to me they should not have cared about that just to stop shooting as they weren't shooting at him anyway.
So what was the Bennett/Lapid secret to securing a quiet border that Netanyahu cannot seem to manage?
