The Israeli war cabinet unanimously approved on Sunday the expansion of Israel’s war on Gaza, which reportedly include plans to reoccupy the strip indefinitely.
In the wake of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon, there has been speculation about a similar deal between Israel and Hamas to finally bring about an end to the genocide in Gaza. But are there reasons to think this time may be different?
As Israel attacked the vicinity of the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, causing panic among sheltering civilians, Israeli drone strikes killed 7 in the West Bank. Qatar brokers deal to allow medical aid to reach Israeli captives and Gaza hospitals.
As Israel’s attacks on Gaza continued, killing medical workers and journalists, South Africa stood in front of the International Court of Justice and presented compelling evidence of Israel’s genocidal acts and intent.
Ten children in Gaza are losing a limb every day in Gaza to Israeli airstrikes, as Israeli politicians say the Gaza onslaught will last at least another nine months.
Both sides of the Israeli judicial overhaul debate claim to be upholding the mantle of “democracy.” But because they are also defending the idea of the “Jewish state,” both are simply enforcing apartheid.

The timing of tensions between Israel and Hezbollah could not have come at a better time for Netanyahu, and that is no coincidence.

President Trump’s initial statement on Charlottesville, which blamed violence “on many sides,” has taken on a life of its own. All of this has made various Israeli leaders rather uncomfortable because while Israel is supposedly engaged in combatting anti-Semitism, it is more truly in an international ideological fight against the left. And Trump is making it difficult to make this argument without looking like a Nazi.
