    No israel has only said they will do a 6 week temporary pause and then continue the Genocide your claim is false.

    This article is more than 2 months old - Netanyahu rejects Gaza ceasefire deal and says victory is ‘within reach’

    Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the terms of a ceasefire in Gaza proposed by Hamas and rebuffed US pressure to move more quickly towards a mediated settlement to the war, saying there could be no solution to Israel’s security issues except “absolute victory” over the militant group.

    Furthermore israel is currently also committing Genocide in the West Bank. Do you blame Hamas and hostages for that too?

      I stand corrected. Makes sense if you’re close to wiping them out. Otherwise you go back to the previous situation.

      Do you have evidence for a genocide in the West Bank? Thought not.

          It must be difficult to stay in control with the tactics Hamas use, not caring at all about civilian lives, using human shields, suicide bombs, fighting from civilians buildings etc.

          The IDF probably knows far more about that than we do
