On Tuesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu broke the ceasefire in Gaza, leading to widespread bombings that resulted in over 400 casualties. This move aligns with far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich's claims that he had assurance from Netanyahu that the war would not end without Hamas's destruction. Despite justifications for resuming attacks, Smotrich's insistence on loyalty to his political stance against the ceasefire highlights internal political pressure influencing Israel's military strategies. Netanyahu's language of a 'temporary' ceasefire coupled with U.S. backing suggests a continued aggressive military posture toward Gaza.
Smotrich celebrated the resumption of large-scale attacks by stating, 'as promised', revealing little regard for the ceasefire's intentions and the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Netanyahu's emphasis on a 'temporary' ceasefire indicates an unwillingness to truly halt military actions, suggesting an alignment and approval from international leaders for continued fighting.
