Israel's government breaks ceasefire: bloody attacks on Gaza Strip!
Itamar Ben-Gvir, the controversial right-wing extremist politician, is returning to the Israeli government as police minister. This happened at night, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. Ben-Gvir and two other members of his Otzma Jehudit party resigned from the government in January to protest against the ceasefire with Hamas. Their return now comes after the resumption of attacks in the Gaza Strip. In a surprise move, the government ignored a warning from Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who ruled that Ben-Gvir should not be reappointed to his ministerial post because he had unlawfully interfered in police work oe24.
At the same time, Israel massively bombed targets in the Gaza Strip for the first time in two months. These attacks, which took place on Tuesday night, reportedly left over 400 dead and hundreds injured, including many women and children, according to Hamas' health authority. The bombings followed failed ceasefire negotiations and exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation facing civilians in the region. Netanyahu reiterated that Israeli forces have resumed their fight against Hamas in full force. He explained, “This is just the beginning.” The military actions come in the context of a failed plan to stabilize the Gaza Strip, which Israel is now re-examining, which could result in a significant escalation of violence daily news reported.
Return of right-wing extremist politicians and consequences for the region
The scope of the renewed bombing goes beyond the Gaza Strip. As Israel intensifies its military operations, signs point to a possible shift in regional dynamics. The Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen is threatening to resume attacks on international ships, and the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon is also in jeopardy. These developments could destabilize the entire region and further escalate the already heated conflict, putting pressure on the international community to find a diplomatic solution.
