I could be wrong, but I thought Hamas installed by Iran?
If so, I would think a civilian election would only include Palestinian citizens.
If Bibi's stance is sincere... well
that seems like a1st best case scenario in this whole debacle.
I know this seems weird but actually Netanyahu used to support Hamas as a sort of "divide and conquer" tactic to prevent Palestine from remaining united under a single leadership.
Here's a more detailed discussion of why Netanyahu and the political right in Israel encouraged Hamas for so long.
My understanding is they are supported by Iran, not Iranian nationals. I suppose they could simply disqualify any Hamas members, Palestinian or not, but it doesn't solve the problem if Hamas is simply replaced by a different pro-intifada government.
Bibi is so unpopular, I expect a change in leadership soon, perhaps his replacement will prefer a different approach.
