Netanyahu has serious reservations about key aspects of the ceasefire plan, which falls short of his stated goal of complete victory in Gaza and may cause political problems with extremists in his coalition in advance of elections to be held later this year. To date, Israel has been slow-rolling the implementation of its obligations, including opening the Rafah crossing, while continuing to conduct strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza that have killed over 500 people since the ceasefire began.

He has always meant this.
People can't actually be shocked to finally realize this, can they? Not after watching what he did to Gaza for over two years.

The Palestinians have no powerful friends in the West. The UK under Starmer is a bad joke for them, Germany is well, Germany, France and Canada are dithering and Australia is now siccing police on 69- year old women who brutalize and break their back - for the crime of protesting a genocide.
Maybe our society and "civilization" are not exactly as advertised?

I wonder why they thought that way... hmmmm... 2,000 pound bombs and "human shields" bs ring a bell... also babies abandoned in incubators, 5-year old little bodies riddled with hundreds of bullets, babies beheaded, dying of starvation or freezing to death...
Maybe folks should have considered the consequences of arming a nation committing such war crimes... it's not like they were not warned.
