He’s got their back. Publicly. Privately, he’s intent on making sure Hamas lives to shoot rockets another day. And the easiest way to do that is block any Israeli move to send troops into Gaza to clean out the rat’s nest and the rocket arsenals the air strikes have missed. Probably a lot.
No military campaign in history was won from the air—except the nuke dropped on Japan and that still took a second one. Nukes, we can hope, are off the table here. But when Iran, which already is sending more rockets to Hamas, gets its nukes, well… Now is the time to put Hamas out of the rocket business.
But Barry is making sure Bibi doesn’t do that. So far, Bibi is obeying. I wonder what sword Barry’s holding over Bibi’s neck? And how long it will be before Bibi dodges out of the way?
In World War II, the allies also used the phrase “pinpoint bombing” as the IAF does now. But that’s just public relations. There is no such thing. The only way to get all those rocket arsenals is to go in, preferably on foot, find them and blow them up.
Otherwise, this whole thing will have been essentially for nothing. The Hamas are religious fanatics. What do they care for demolished buildings? The IAF could level the whole city and still not hit all the rocket caches. They have to be rooted out by infantry, with the inevitable deaths and cripplings.
And Jerusalem must be willing to defy Barry and the international screamers to honor their IDF casualties by not stopping until the job is done.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
I agree with your analysis that removal of the rocket sites will have to be done the hard way. However, that is not going to be a permanent solution, either. Rockets are easily replaced, as are the maniacs to repopulate the launching crews.
There are lots of places around the area to resupply both of those needs, however completely they may be destroyed.
There doesn’t seem to be any permanent solution, short of stopping their drinking water and electricity (Israel supplies both) and then driving them like cattle onto ships, or deep into Sinai to starve with the Egyptians. Up to now the Israelis have been too humanitarian to contemplate that in public, much less do it. But their backs are being pushed against the wall.
