The Israeli leader signaled he would agree only to a "partial" cease-fire in Gaza, drawing criticism from hostage families that he had walked back from a U.S.-supported deal.

The "intensive" phase of Israel's offensive in Gaza will soon end, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday — but he signaled he would only accept a "partial" cease-fire deal that would not end the war, and that this new phase would allow a shift in focus to the simmering conflict on the country's northern border with Lebanon.

According to Bibi...

And in the same breathe saying he doesn't want to end the war.

Bibi is facing calls from the left and right in his country to stop stalling the election. If an election happens, he's not going to win.

So he's going to keep this war going as long as possible. And is blatantly saying any slow down in Gaza would be to increase attacks on Lebanon.

It's literally the only thing keeping him in office, because war is his only excuse for not letting Israelis hold a vote.

This corresponds with the previous recent Lebanese leak that israel is going to pipe down the Genocide in 5 weeks and now commit to starting a war with Hezbollah

Why is any self respecting media outlet still describing this as a war?

1
- War definition: a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state

  Ah, so the holocaust was a war then too since some jews resisted, right? If the US government started killing illegal migrants would that be a "war"?
  
  Always makes things so much simpler when we can just kind of make words mean whatever we want huh?

Then the non-intense but never-ending phase begins.

They don't need an intense phase at this point. Who's left?

- The non-intense part is an actual requirement for land development. I don't think their zionist settlers would like the experience of trucking beach house materials under fire or while facing blockades. Those are reserved for the aid convoys.

I don't believe their words. Stop fighting

Edit: I see OP supports Israel. After all that's become clear about their genocide.

- I’m vehemently anti-Hamas. Very pro-Palestine. Hamas is a cancer to Palestine.
  
  Israel is America’s closest ally in the region, and an important factor in maintaining our global influence. I don’t agree with their tactics, but I understand why our leadership will never turn their backs on them
  
  There’s this thing called nuance, and you need to understand that the world is far more complicated than just “stop fighting”

  lol All you've done is defend Israel here
  
  "it's simple, Hamas just has to surrender" is not a peace plan
