This chapter explores the reasons behind Israel's largest airstrikes on Gaza since the January ceasefire, the strategic considerations of Prime Minister Netanyahu, the role of the U.S. in the escalation, and the potential humanitarian crisis it may cause.
  • Israel's airstrikes on Gaza resulted in over 300 deaths and 1,000 injuries, marking the deadliest attacks since the January ceasefire.
  • The ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas are at a deadlock, with Israel using military pressure to force concessions.
  • The U.S. played a pivotal role in this escalation, prioritizing hostage release and countering Hamas.
  • Hamas rejected U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff's transitional plan due to unmet core demands like a permanent ceasefire.
  • The global community faces limited options to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza amid the ongoing escalation.
