- without warning, in the middle of the night- in the middle of Ramadan.

NOTHING.

ronib, I think the same, as someone said Hamas are certainly winning the propaganda war, , the majority want it all to be true, more chance of ridding the world of Netanyahu than Hamas.
In UK Police have been given new laws for protecting places of worship, antisemitism has risen by 113%

Anniebach before the hostage taking in 2013, my little but very inquisitive 2 year old grandson stopped outside the Jewish Orthodox Synagogue and wanted to know why it was being guarded. After a few minutes, a worried guard asked us what were we doing. You can imagine the conversation which followed. I have to say that this country has not protected the Jewish community adequately if 90 year old grannies are put on a rota to stand outside a synagogue on security alert!!

Why should we lift sanctions on settling more and more of the West Bank?

The PM spoke to Netanyahu on 21st January, communications aren't banned unless there is a new ruling..

Maureen Lipman spoke of protecting Jewish cemeteries before
2023 , such fear because they are Jews, first time in history Jews
are speaking out.

Hamas can’t ban the uk from talking to Netanyahu that’s utter nonsense.
Israel should have kept to the agreed ceasefire and hostage swap instead of backing out of it before the second part was due to begin
. Instead Israel began the bombing and killing again ….. but clearly in some people’s eyes that is the fault of Hamas who have stated time and time again they want what was agreed to continue.
My thoughts are Netanyahu doesn’t care much about the Israelis still in captivity, hence the people’s understandable protests, he doesn’t mind how many on both sides die as long as he keeps his power which stops him from standing trial on numerous charges and ultimately prison. Where he really does belong.

So Netanyahu will remain PM until he is 95 ?

Why would any politician cause anger in the people who voted for him ? How is that keeping in power ?

Why not give us your opinion about why he broke the agreement.
