The ceasefire between Israel and Gaza was tenuous from the start, perhaps doomed to fail.
Over 300 lives snuffed out. Just like that. In one attack, because Israel is on a mission to eradicate Hamas, no matter if innocents are in the way. Or are there no innocents?
It’s a battle of attrition, fueled by unfathomable hatred and distrust. And who knows, maybe Bibi was heartened by the recent U.S. attack in Yemen.
Hostages? They’re apparently a low priority. Expendable, even. Families’ feelings and demands are practically immaterial and irrelevant, maybe even a nuisance. The existential crisis for Israel takes precedence and likely continues forever, in practical terms.
