A ceasefire would bring respite for Netanyahu - but Israel's war in Gaza is far from over
Monday, 8 April 2024 For all the talk of an imminent offensive in Rafah, I don't sense the timing or conditions are currently right for Israel, either on a political or military level.
After six months of the bloodiest war in Gaza triggered by Hamas's 7 October attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that Israel is 'one step from victory' against the Palestinian militant group. Israel has faced growing global opposition to the war, which has left the Palestinian...
Israeli hostage Agam Berger was reunited with the IDF in an emotional handover, while Arbel Yehud and Gadi Moses endured chaotic crowds. Arbel, the last known female civilian hostage alive, faced a delayed release that nearly disrupted a recent ceasefire. Their return is part of an ongoing Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange, as negotiations continue amid tense conditions.

In a major shift, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's fears of Russian retaliation are overcome as Trump facilitates the transfer of 90 Patriot missiles from Israel to Ukraine. The missiles will travel via Poland, significantly boosting Ukraine's defense against Russian attacks. This transfer marks a pivotal moment in international relations, with Israel agreeing to send the decommissioned Patriot systems to help Ukraine after months of hesitation. What does this mean for global security and the ongoing war? Watch the full story and the unfolding geopolitical implications.

Israeli forces fired bullets and tear gas at Palestinian families gathered near Ofer Prison, awaiting the release of prisoners under a ceasefire deal with Hamas. The attack injured seven people and came amid heightened security measures to suppress public gatherings. Families were warned against celebrating or displaying Palestinian flags, with threats of canceling releases. This incident follows Israeli PM Netanyahu's statement reserving the "right" to resume the war on Gaza, which has claimed nearly 47,000 Palestinian lives.

The Gaza ceasefire agreement has ignited a political crisis within Israel, as far-right ministers, led by Bezalel Smotrich, threaten to overthrow Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. Smotrich criticized the ceasefire as a "surrender to Hamas" and demanded that Israel continue its military operations in Gaza to defeat Hamas. He warned of the government's collapse unless it resumes military actions and establishes control over Gaza. Smotrich's party, along with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's, has withdrawn from the coalition, heightening tensions. Despite the withdrawals, Netanyahu's government retains a narrow majority in the Knesset. The ongoing conflict has caused significant casualties, and international bodies have issued warrants and rulings against Israeli leaders over actions in Gaza.

The terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire include the release of 98 hostages, including 33 Israelis, as part of a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. The release will occur in phases, with 3 American-Israeli hostages also being freed. In return, Israel will release Palestinian detainees, with the number increasing for female detainees. Israel has agreed to allow significant aid into Gaza and will withdraw troops from urban areas. There are also provisions for reopening the Rafah border crossing to Egypt, which will allow displaced Palestinians to return home. The ceasefire is seen as a significant step in the ongoing conflict, but it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve, particularly in Gaza, where humanitarian needs are critical.

In a shocking escalation, Saraya Al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, launched a relentless barrage of 107 rockets and mortars targeting Israeli soldiers in Gaza. The attack, which took place on December 9, 2024, focused on Israeli troops stationed east of Rafah, particularly in the Jenina neighborhood. Intense ground clashes erupted between the Al-Quds Brigade and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), with both sides exchanging heavy fire. This marks yet another chapter in the ongoing conflict between Hamas-backed forces and Israel, following the October 7 attacks that escalated tensions in the region.
