The conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to unrest and criticism of Prime Minister Netanyahu for his failure to rescue hostages killed by Hamas. Over 40,000 Palestinian civilians have lost their lives in the conflict. Regional powers, as well as the US and UK (who have cancelled arms exports), are pushing for a ceasefire, but both sides remain reluctant to end the fighting. There are still 97 hostages in the hands of Hamas and other militant Palestinian groups, with 33 of them likely dead. Despite the shock and outrage over the deaths of the hostages, Israel continues its military operations in Gaza. The Israeli government is facing increasing criticism for its military actions, while Hamas threatens to return the hostages in coffins. Meanwhile, the vaccination campaign in Gaza is progressing better than expected. Prime Minister Netanyahu is determined to maintain a hardline stance against Hamas and retain control over the Philadelphi Corridor. Protests against the government have erupted in Israel, and Netanyahu has apologized for the deaths of the Hamas hostages. The situation remains complex, and there is a need for de-escalation and diplomacy to create security and hope for both Israelis and Palestinians. The international community plays a crucial role in supporting peace movements on both sides and providing a nuanced approach to the conflict.

Farewell to Killed Hostages - Netanyahu Swears Revenge

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows revenge for the murdered hostages, as families criticize his stance. Negotiations for a hostage deal are ongoing, with control over the Philadelphi Corridor remaining a point of contention. US government representatives, including President Biden, express criticism towards Netanyahu. Protests calling for the release of the hostages take place, while the killed hostages, Hersh Goldberg-Polin and Eden Jeruschalmi, are mourned. Hamas publishes a propaganda video, and a strike occurs in protest of the slow negotiations. The Al-Kassam Brigades issue threats, and Israel's President Izchak Herzog asks for forgiveness. The situation remains tense despite the protests and criticism.
