It's not the land that's worth it to them (because of 150km² of bombed out city is pretty worthless). They don't need it.

They just seem to like the idea of the Palestinians no longer having it.

Fully agree with you on that

Like that will somehow restore their reputation with the Israeli voters they failed to protect.

Sigh… I wish I could be as confident as you there. The far right voters will see it as a victory, and the rest depends on how well they spin the propaganda
