Israel's coalition government contains far-right parties that do not want to see an end to the bloodshed in Gaza, so it is no surprise that bombs have started falling again

Netanyahu always said the truce was temporary and used the 'war pause' to grab more land in the West Bank and go after those in Israel who opposed the Kahanist war aims of his far-right coalition

Since Israel's creation, it always wanted to rid itself of the majority of Palestinians who weren't kicked out in 1948. From occupation to genocide and maybe a new Nakba, there's a clear throughline.

In a presser with Netanyahu, the US president said 'Gaza is no place for people to be living' and they should "settle permanently in a beautiful area" outside of Gaza where they can "be happy"

The real estate mogul and longtime friend of Trump reportedly got tough with Netanyahu to get him to finally sign a ceasefire to end his 15-month-long assault on Gaza

The Israeli premier's political survival skills are renowned, but this time, he is boxed in tightly by Trump, the far right, and the Haredim. March will be an interesting month.
