and there will be much more death and destruction.
Hamas will import many more weapons and materials to make weapons of war.
Increased rocket attacks from inside Gaza will cause Israel to react with more bombings.
The cycle continues and accelerates.

If Palestinians give up Hamas, recognize Israel, and end the "From the river to the sea" call for genocide against Israelis... then it might be possible to open borders via the sea or air. Egypt has their own issues with opening their border... You cannot expect Israel to let anyone from Gaza into their nation so long as the government of Gaza, such as it is, calls for the destruction of Israel.
