The move, which coincides with the fasting month of Ramadan
for Muslims, came after Hamas refused to accept the extension of the first
phase of the ceasefire deal.
Though,
Israel has stopped, possibly temporarily, dropping bombs on Gazans, its recent
moves openly confirm that it was starving the Gazans during the nearly 16-month
war to make the resistance fighters surrender.
The statement by Netanyahu’s office added, “Israel will not
allow a ceasefire without the release of our hostages. If Hamas continues its
refusal, there will be further consequences."
There
are certain reasons for setting such a condition. Most importantly, Israel
feels humiliated that despite its nearly 16-month cruel war on Gaza, it failed
to defeat resistance fighters.
It is an open secret that Israel was starving Gazans, and
the UN officially were constantly warning about this act. His then so-called
defense minister Yoav Gallant said, "I have ordered a complete siege on
the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is
closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly."
Israel
is notoriously famous for breaking promises, agreements, and international
laws. Now, contrary to the terms of the ceasefire agreement, Netanyahu is seeking
to extend the initial exchange phase to secure the release of as many Israeli
captives as possible without offering anything in return or fulfilling the
military and humanitarian obligations of the agreement.
In addition to feeling humiliated to defeat the resistance
fighters, Netanyahu is using aid as a weapon to force Hamas officials to give
in to his demands, which are contrary to what has been agreed in ceasefire
agreement, to find a pretext to resume the war as it has been openly implied in
the Sunday statement, and finally force the people to leave their homes in line
with the proposed Trump plan for Gaza and the greater project of ethnically
cleansing Palestinians from their motherland.
