Well, Gaza doesn't look very pretty to me right now.
And it's been almost 2 years and the hostages still aren't back home. They managed it before when they had a handful of hostages. Does Netanyahu really give a shit about freeing the hostages, or his plan to smash Hamas to distract from his domestic scandals so he can stay in power? Does he even care if the hostages die? 🤔 If he really wanted to free the hostages, could he do it? Or is he more focussed on destroying Hamas at all costs?
(Although even if he does manage to actually destroy Hamas (not guaranteed), he'll just create 1000 new Hamases. People who've lost their entire family to an airstrike tend to have a bit of anger.
Also, coming up to 18 years in power. Doesn't sound very democratic...
