Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu said any Gaza ceasefire deal must allow Israel to resume fighting until its objectives are met.

“Any deal will allow Israel to return and fight until all the goals of the war are achieved,” Mr Netanyahu said in a statement on Sunday.

Hamas has dropped a key demand that Israel first commit to a permanent ceasefire before it would sign an agreement. Instead, it said it would allow negotiations to achieve that throughout the six-week first phase, a Hamas source said on Saturday.

But Mr Netanyahu said he insisted the deal must not prevent Israel from resuming fighting until its war objectives are met.

The goals of the war being?...

Oh right, the destruction of every non-Israeli living in Gaza.

Why else would they go after Hospitals treating innocent Palestinian victims?
Why else would they spend months and months denying any and all foreign aid to Gaza after cutting them off from all food, water, and electricity?
Why else would they airstrike clearly marked aid convoys for Gaza going along a pre-agreed route?
Why else would members of the IDF record thselves killing innocent Palestinians?
Why else would they oppose any and all peace deals, and openly plot to betray any and all ceasefires?

Israel has killed more than 30,000 innocent people. You can't just call that collateral or even callous disregard, it's mass murder, a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Hamas are not good guys by any stretch, but if you're being morally high-grounded by a terrorist organisation, then you ought to know which side of history you're on.

Edit: Israeli not Israelite

There's a British medical journal called lancet that estimates the deaths at 186,000. Remember. The death counts stopped changing much in like February or March because Israel destroyed the Gaza Health ministry which is responsible reporting.

Also because they can't dig the bodies out of the rubble and because the bodies have been blown into so many pieces they're hard to count.
