According to The Times of Israel Nethanyahu also said that “hostage talks only to be held ‘under fire”.
But Hamas followed the the ceasefire agreement they BOTH agreed on.
on March 7th Trump issued a “warning” 'hell' to pay if it doesn't release 'all' hostages, see NBC article
Many wondered why, afterall. Hamas had already agreed to releasing the hostages, they were asking for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement to begin. But then Israel closed all borders and denied aid to enter on March 2nd, BBC article . During the ceasefire Israel have also murdered over 155 civilians before they officially resumed the war. Source Middle East Eye .
So why did Israel escalate? My opinion? Because Hamas refused to violate the ceasefire. And because they knew it meant that Hamas was going to return all hostages. So they got Trump to issue a “warning” And then they acted on it.
Israel wants to kill the remaining Israeli hostages. Otherwise they wouldn’t even have a remote chance to justify the genocide. They want to kill Palestinians, not simply displace them. Thats the only thing that makes a sick sense.
They claim they are killing Hamas, but Hamas still haven’t fought them since they violated the ceasefire. If they did, it would be defence though.
They also want a symbolic victory over Hamas, or atleast thats what they say.
But Hamas have told them they are willing to cede control over Gaza. Source: NBC .
So all of this sudden aggression is staged. Hamas haven’t violated the terms of the ceasefire. Israel wants to destroy more and kill more. That is it. We should all condemn it.
