Pressure on Netanyahu: What response as US lifts Gaza ceasefire veto? • FRANCE 24 English

With the war between Israel and Hamas now in its sixth month, the needle is moving. But by how much? For the first time, the United States has lifted its veto on a UN resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. In past conflicts, whenever Washington has called time, Israel has bended. But what's to say this story follows the pattern?

Only Netanyahu does not see the setback and brokenness of his entity, and he brags about continuing the war, but the rope is tightening around his neck, and his threat to invade Rafah is a symbol of a great loss, and his refusal to exchange prisoners revealed that he wants to kill, not fight, and seeks annihilation, starvation and siege, and after 172 days he has been unable to achieve a single strategic achievement.

[@chabsbachia2186]

Biased conversation against Netanyahu is all what this broadcast about. But the truth is that no one, and I repeat, NO ONE could not have invaded gaza after October 7th massacre if such a one had happened to be the prime minister of Israel. And again: No national leader would not respond with necessary military force against a terrorist organisation in charge of a neighbouring region if such a terrorist organisation had invaded and massacred his innocent citizens in a comparable manner as it was done to Israel by the hamas. Again, hypocrites say there is another way this war could have been conducted. Well, it depends on what military objectives are to be achieved. So, given the fact that a lot of western countries agreed with the right of Israel to defend itself against hamas, and that after October 7th attack, this right is enshrined into the objective of defeating hamas totally in gaza so that at the end of the day, hamas can no longer be in any sort of governmental control of gaza, how could anyone condemning Netanyahu thinks this war could have been better conducted other than the way it has been conducted specifically in reference to minimising the extent of civilian casualties but focussed on achieving the goal of total defeat of the hamas which deliberately has embedded itself into civilian population in order to maximise the extent of civilian casualties??? Let anyone lay down how they could do it taking into account the real situation. The problem is not Bibi. Anyone who could have been Israel's prime minister could have invaded Gasza with the same goals, with the same IDF, and against the same enemy entrenched in civilian population, and the similar extent of civilian casualties would have been the result. There is no way of taking out hamas without the horrible high extent of civilian casualties because that is precisely the play-game of hamas. Any example of any military that has a record of doing better than Israel in similar circumstances as regards minimising civilian casualties and abiding by international law??? Name one with proof!!!

[@myblighters]

You're kidding aren't you? The level of civilian targeted attacks has been outrageous. Demolition of hospitals homes and educational facilities totally unnecessary. It is quite clear to the majority of the world that this campaign has had quite different objectives to the ones stated officially.
