Netanyahu Accused of Sabotaging Gaza Ceasefire for Political Gain
According to Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu destroyed peace talks in Gaza because they would benefit his position rather than rescue the Israeli hostages. Hamas senior leader Izat al-Rishq argues that Netanyahu imposes fresh conditions that diverge from what Hamas accepted.
Special Advisor Francesca Albanese considers the power cut as a clear genocide warning. Hamas calls the reduced power supplies “war crimes against humanity” because they add to Gaza’s previous limitations on getting basic supplies. The Israeli government stopped humanitarian supplies from reaching Gaza last Sunday which created worries about hunger spreading across Palestine.
The first portion of the ceasefire stopped working after early March because the two sides failed to advance to the next phase. The Israeli Prime Minister reportedly wants to protract the initial stage of the agreement to acquire more captured Israeli citizens before having to exit or offer humanitarian treatment. Under their, Hamas demands that Israel resume negotiation of the next phase which requires its complete withdrawal from Gaza and a permanent end to hostilities.Many media reports indicate that Israel’s military actions in Gaza resulted in the deaths of 48,450 people mainly including female and child victims. The International Criminal Court charged both Nathanyet and Yoav Gallant with war crimes in November 2022 and international courts now consider if Israeli leadership committed genocide.
