Tensions Rise in Israel and Palestine
The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas appears to be crumbling, with renewed violence erupting in recent days. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem accused Israel of violating the agreement by targeting civilians, resulting in casualties in Beit Hanoun.
Meanwhile, protests erupted in Jerusalem demanding the implementation of a prisoner exchange deal. Clashes broke out between demonstrators and Israeli police near Netanyahu's headquarters.
Adding to the escalating tensions, a stabbing attack in Haifa left one settler dead and eight others seriously injured.
Inside the Knesset, chaos unfolded as security guards prevented bereaved families and relatives of kidnapped individuals from entering the guest gallery during a session.
Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the Knesset, stating that Israel is "preparing for the next stages of the War of Rebirth." Families of "hostages" turned their backs on him during his speech, signifying their deep dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the situation.

The prisoner exchange deal would only incentivize Hamas to kidnap more people. It's not a solution.

The War of Rebirth is a necessary fight for Israel's survival. We stand with them.
