Why wouldn’t the war resume as Hamas is still holding hostages and hasn’t yet surrendered? Does Gaza think Israel is just going to ignore the ~50 or so of their citizens still kept captive and let bygones be bygones?

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 3 points 25 minutes ago

Because you dont read news and ignore the number of “detainees” aka “hostages” in Israeli prisons.

Netanyahu's goals are to deny Palestinian statehood and form a greater Israel. He does not care about the hostages.

Israel having a normal one

"All hell will break loose and all of the terrorists in the Middle East - the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iranian-backed terror proxies and Iran themselves - should take President Trump very seriously when he says he is not afraid to stand for law-abiding people."

I'm lost, which laws are we talking about here?

The law of the jungle

Seems netanyahu is not ready for jailtime in his fraud case. As long as there is war, there is a war cabinet and they can do the fuck they want. Plus he knows Trump will back him.

"The Trump administration and the White House were consulted by the Israelis on their attacks on Gaza tonight and as President Trump has made clear to Hamas, the Houthis, Iran - all those who seek to terrorise not just Israel but the United States of America will see a price to pay," Leavitt said.

"All hell will break loose and all of the terrorists in the Middle East - the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iranian-backed terror proxies and Iran themselves - should take President Trump very seriously when he says he is not afraid to stand for law-abiding people."

I figured Trump would want to make peace with Iran since they're also a Russian ally. At some point I guess you have to choose and we're already too in deep with Israel to be neutral. So Trump will be supporting the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians and war to form a greater Israel against Iran and its proxies. That's awful, for a bit there I thought we might have accidentally allied with everyone in the Middle East. edit: added quotes

Israel is seeking to form a new alliance with Russia. They suggest Syria should allow for Russian bases again. Israel had demanded Ukraine to surrender to Russia back in 2022 and they sold drones to Russia between 2015-2017, which also were used in the full invasion of Ukraine.

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

Iran also sold drones to Russia and have been a longer ally than Israel. But I guess that doesn't really matter to dictatorships. Russia doesn't really need Iran anymore now that they have Israel and the US.

Iran hates Trump's guts since he killed their general in Iraq in his last term. They even wanted to assassinate him but were waiting for him to lose the election.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

I wish they fucking would.

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Yeah, but I would think the Iranian leadership would rather have the US at their beck and call than as an enemy trying to wipe them off the face of the Earth no?

edit: It probably wasn't up to Iran. Russia could be backstabbing them for the shiny new toy that is a fascist Israel.

On what? The refugees? There's nothing left but rubble.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

They won't stop until all Palestinians are dead or refugees elsewhere. That's been the plan all along.
