Netanyahu sends the military back into Gaza.

It was always going to be tenuous, hamas are dragging their heels on returning bodies and even sending wrong ones.They’re throwing their weight about and killing civilians.
Hamas were warned by Trump what would happen if they didn’t comply.

growstuff Tue 28-Oct-25 18:27:41

Oh! That's OK then! The IDF can create a few more corpses! angry

Oreo Tue 28-Oct-25 18:40:55

Who said it was ok?
It’s what is happening is all.Gazans suffering from their own government and so inevitable.Hamas playing for time was never going to be acceptable.

Oh dear, Netanyahu's trial has been paused again because of the renewed offensive. What a surprise!

Smileless2012 Tue 28-Oct-25 20:21:47

They're throwing their weight around and killing civilians as are the IDF.

It was on the cards. The world has stood by and watched a genocide so Netanhahu knows nothing will be done - and, as has been said, it's got him off the hook again.

The renewed offensive is because one IDF soldier has been killed. The IDF have killed several Palestinian children since the ceasefire but that doesn't seem to matter.
Netanyahu was looking for any excuse to carry on the fighting.

I hope Netanyahu’s God seeks retribution when he dies.

No one else seems capable of doing so.

Indeed!

The cost of the death of one IDF soldier, 50 Palestinian civilians angry.

Maremia Wed 29-Oct-25 09:09:22

Yes, but Netanyahu has been 'saved' again. And that could be seen as a result in some quarters.

Maremia Wed 29-Oct-25 09:11:39

'dragging their heals', or maybe having to excavate tons of IDF bombed rubble, with bodies lying there for months, with no forensic experts yet, to help identify which body was which person?
Could be that.

Oreo Wed 29-Oct-25 09:16:25

The dead hostages would have been kept somewhere safe within the hundreds of miles of tunnels….they are/were worth a lot to hamas as bargaining chips.
Don’t fall for the under the rubble lies.Hamas are buying time to regroup and consolidate their positions.

Smileless2012 Wed 29-Oct-25 11:24:37

You can't possibly know where the bodies have been kept Oreo and whether any of the deceased hostages remains are buried under tons of rubble.

How do you know that? Do you have communication with the IDF or the Israeli embassy? Some hostages will have been killed by Israeli bombing - no reasonable person thinks otherwise.

In a war situation I am not sure whether anything we hear is true or not. From either side.

Sueinkent Wed 29-Oct-25 11:41:34

The genocide continues with the collusion of Western Governments to keep Bibi out of jail and serve the interests of states that are running scared of Iran.

True. At least you admit that Israel lies too (unlike some posters).

AGAA4 Wed 29-Oct-25 12:28:25

BBC verify have found that the IDF have created the yellow line hundreds of metres further into.the Gaza strip than agreed in the ceasefire. Anyone crossing the yellow line will be shot even though there is no clarity of where the line actually is.
That seems to be a breach of the peace agreement to me.

Maremia Wed 29-Oct-25 12:31:27

They are just so unbelievably evil.
Yes, we already knew that about Hamas but the IDF, the moral army?

Maremia Wed 29-Oct-25 12:34:25

And, as evidence is growing of Trump's apparent descent in dementia, who is really in command in tbe West Wing?

That - to me - is the likeliest explanation....ie first find the relevant bodies....and it's obvious to most of us that is going to be far from easy.

To me - the ceasefire was only ever a pause to regroup as far as Netanyahu is concerned. Thinks - must go back and find that YouTube video by that new African leader of Burkina Faso (a military man himself) and he was explaining that it's just tactics on Netanyahu's part and done just to give him time to regroup before launching into attack mode again. That did make sense as a logical argument...

Of course...another election coming up there and Netanyahu seeing getting right back into war as a useful little personal tactic also makes sense to me.

Guess it's a combination of all those factors combined.

Fingers crossed that lack of money will hit Netanyahu that hard at some point that he simply won't be able to finance any more fighting - as I gather that economy is being hit very hard by all the spending on war. Though I'm afraid I doubt he would think that logically.
