I wouldnt trust the words of a Palantir exec if they said the sky was blue, but even accepting what they say, its just that the hamas attacks gave the ban impetus to move forwards. By his own words the ban already had bipartesan support and executive approval before that.
The headline that it was "about" Isreal rather than China is a massive reach.
