Israel was killing people in Gaza during the “Ceasefire”
JVL Introduction
Direct killings between 19th January and 18th March as well as starvation, cutting off the access for humanitarian aid, cutting off electricity and more happened during the ceasefire. Hamas had previously outlined 270 examples of Israel breaking the agreement and, of course, the airstrikes in the early hours of 18th March take the people of Gaza back to the horrors they had been enduring for 15 months.
Why has this happened? Even the BBC notes: “Pursuing a renewed campaign in Gaza also presents a political boon for Prime Minister Netanyahu. This morning the hard right Jewish Power party has announced it will return to the coalition, its members including, former minister Itamar Ben Gvir, resigned in protest over the ceasefire. Having their cooperation will be crucial for the government as it seeks to pass its current budget.
Israel’s operations last night may have been a one-off attempt to force Hamas to concede at the negotiating table. It may, however, also herald the beginning of a fierce wave of fighting on the ground again, alarming Gaza’s weary families and concerned Israeli hostage families alike.” (My emph Ed)
