Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sparked outrage by refusing to implement phase two of the ceasefire agreed upon with Hamas, leading to Israel’s biggest assault on Gaza since January 19. The attacks have resulted in hundreds of Palestinian casualties and forced many to flee their homes. Israel claims the strikes were necessary due to a lack of progress in ceasefire extension talks. The White House was briefed on the attacks prior to their execution.
Hamas has condemned Israel for violating the agreement and urged for accountability. The pressing question now is whether Netanyahu can achieve his goals through war. Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, Scott Lucas, a professor of US and international politics at University College Dublin, and Daniel Levy, president of the US Middle East Project, offered their perspectives on the matter during a discussion led by presenter James Bays.
Netanyahu’s decision to escalate the conflict has raised concerns about the humanitarian impact on Palestinians and the potential consequences of continued violence. The panel of experts discussed the implications of Netanyahu’s actions and debated the effectiveness of using military force to achieve political objectives. As the situation in Gaza remains volatile, the international community continues to monitor the situation closely and calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
