Israel does not want gaza. They want the west bank. Gaza is worthless land, they just want the gazans gone.

so, they want the people that it's there now gone, and the control of that territory, but they don't want Gaza.

Israel's actions so far have shown it doesn't want Gaza controlled by Hamas. Some elements want to annex it. But it seems they've been quelled given Netanyahu's agreement to Trump's 20-point plan, which does not grant Israel control.

Israel's ideal outcome with gaza is for egypt to take it and all the gazans. They do not care about controlling the region, they just want the gazans gone.
