    Why wouldn’t Israel restart the killings of top Hamas officials? Hamas declared war on them, the ceasefire ended without being extended, Hamas is still holding Israelis hostage and captive, and Hamas has not yet surrendered. Seems pretty expected tbh

      Hamas complied with the ceasefire agreements. They released all the hostages designated by the first period of the ceasefire and negotiated the releases of the second period. Israel cut water and electricity while US demand Hamas to give it all in exchange for nothing, or at the very best in exchange for deportation of all palestinians = ethnical cleansing.

      Israel is pushing the limits. But at this point it’s obvious saving the hostages is no longer in the priorities.

      The ceasefire was still in effect. As long as talks were ongoing. And Israel sent a delegation last weekend for talks so they are ongoing.

      Israel did not end the ceasefire it violated the ceasefire. Massively.

        Simply not true, the first phase of the ceasefire explicitly lasted 42 days and came to an end on Feb 26.

        Israel and mediators continued to attempt to negotiate after that date but the ceasefire itself and its agreed upon terms came to an end Feb 26, 42 days after the start of Phase 1 on Jan 15

          The second phase went in which Israel instantly violated. But the negotiations were still ongoing. Meaning it was in effect.

          While israel did violate the ceasefire more than 900 times with no real violations from Hamas, the ceasefire was officially still in effect. Israel also violated the ceasefire many times during the first 42 days and did not allow the promised aid in.
