    Netanyahu has stated that Israel will move to annex parts of the Gaza Strip if a ceasefire agreement with Hamas is not reached

    Soo, this basically is a guarantee that no actual cease fire will ever happen…

    It’s still upsetting that the west in general still fails to challenge the government of Israel’s narrative when it comes to any “cease fire”. First of all, a cease fire generally implies that both sides are still engaged in hostilities. When in reality a cease fire in this scenario is more of the offer of the cessation of a genocide, which they could do unilaterally at anytime.

    Secondly, there was already a “cease fire” deal where Hamas returned hostages and Israel failed to stop hostilities and never released their hostages. There is no reason to assume Israel is ever going to negotiate with any sort of good faith, and it should be called out to by anyone within reaching distance of a microphone.
