In his recent speech to Congress, Netanyahu states:

The war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders, disarms and returns all the hostages. But if they don’t, Israel will fight until we destroy Hamas’ military capabilities and its rule in Gaza and bring all our hostages home.

That’s what total victory means, and we will settle for nothing less.

The day after we defeat Hamas, a new Gaza can emerge. My vision for that day is of a demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza. Israel does not seek to resettle Gaza. But for the foreseeable future, we must retain overriding security control there to prevent the resurgence of terror, to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel.

Gaza should have a civilian administration run by Palestinians who do not seek to destroy Israel. That’s not too much to ask. It’s a fundamental thing that we have a right to demand and to receive.

A new generation of Palestinians must no longer be taught to hate Jews but rather to live in peace with us. Those twin words, demilitarization and deradicalization, those two concepts were applied to Germany and Japan after World War II, and that led to decades of peace, prosperity and security.

Following our victory, with the help of regional partners, the demilitarization and deradicalization of Gaza can also lead to a future of security, prosperity and peace. That’s my vision for Gaza.

By 2030, according to my best judgment, will the key points behind this vision be achieved?

Has it been achieved in the West Bank?

I'd say demilitarization yes, deradicalization no. In part that's because of the influence of Gaza though, both in pushing Israelis to the right (via rocket attacks) and in helping to push out moderate technocratic palestinians like Salam Fayyad who could have done a lot to help the WB.

I don't think that Israelis being on the right is what prevented de-radicalization of the West Bank...
