Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip in a move that threatens to torpedo an already fragile ceasefire and create catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the already devastated territory.

In recent days, Israeli-backed armed militias have taken a leading role in emptying the territory along the ceasefire line, telling residents to vacate their homes or shelters.

Throughout the eight months of the ceasefire, Israeli forces have continued to open fire on Palestinians within range of the “yellow line” splitting the strip, and carry out airstrikes deeper inside western Gaza, killing more than 900 Palestinians since the truce began.

            I said they are the same strictly about gaza despite most of the damage was done during him but you are a dumb cultist pro genocide hypocrite who selecrively read what people say .

            You also lied about Biden, Biden did not restrict Israel he was willing to let Israel finish the rest if Gaza while pretending to seek a cease fire

              Project much? Biden was pushing back; we’ll never know what he would have done, because too many American mouth breathers didn’t see Dems as better than maga.
