“Hamas has reneged on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions,” the statement said, adding that the situation had created a “last-minute crisis”.

According to an Israeli television report, Smotrich presented Netanyahu with a list of conditions for his support, including a pledge that Israel would return to fighting should Hamas manage to retain control of Gaza, and to strictly limit the quantity of humanitarian aid allowed into the territory.

Israeli media widely reported this week that the government was prepared to resume hostilities after the end of the first six-week phase of the truce, during which hostages are supposed to be released.

Almost as if genocide was the goal.

Saying this could be part of the plot, or old Benji didn't think Hamas would agree to a ceasefire and now he's fucked. Also Iran saying Israel lost probably didn't help.

Well yeah, Israel lost literally nothing and destroyed like half of Gaza, what a horrible defeat.

Uhm, not quite sure what you mean? My remark about Iran was to think out loud why Netanyahu would say Hamas is sabotizing the cease-fire. He doesn't want to look weak or like he lost. Iran says Israel lost, that is not acceptable for Netanyahu and his PR.

That’s a weird take my dude. His genocidal right wing has his coalition and grip on power by the balls. That’s what he cares about, not Iran’s shit talk.

Many people who were sympathetic and supportive of Israel are now very much disapproving and view Israel a lot more negatively.

Israel definitely lost respect from their Allies.

Fucking war criminal.

He doesn’t want a ceasefire, and he doesn’t want the hostages released…if he did he wouldn’t have an ultimatum he knows Hamas would never accept.

Anyone in support of Netanyahu is an idiot if they think he will manage any hostages released.
