Quoting Imma Era: "The thought that Netanyahu is using our children as human shields in the face of his domestic challenges is shocking and contrary to what is required of the Prime Minister to do at this time... We will not agree that our children will be used as flak jackets for a government that has lost public trust."
Israel is violating the #ceasefire agreement, with Israeli media and social media trolls claiming the #Hamas repeatedly refused to release hostages. It's a pretext. #Hamas was willing to release all hostages under specific conditions: a complete cessation of hostilities, the release of prisoners, and guarantees for its survival.
The timing of the attack, many observers in Israel are suggesting, is driven by coalition considerations, including appeasing political factions, rather than a genuine strategy to defeat #Hamas. The offensive endangers hostages, reducing their chances of survival due to the consequences of #IDF bombings.
The organization "Imma Era" (Alert or awoken Mother), which unites mothers of female and male combat soldiers, stated that "returning to fighting less than a day after the announcement of the dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet raises serious questions about the timing of the decision. The thought that #Netanyahu is using our children as human shields in the face of his domestic challenges is shocking and contrary to what is required of the Prime Minister to do at this time. We will not agree that our children will be used as flak jackets for a government that has lost public trust."
Yair Golan, the chairman of the Democrats, stated that "the soldiers at the front and the hostages in Gaza are just pawns in Netanyahu's game of survival," as he fears public protest against the dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet.
Ben Gvir welcomed the return to fighting, saying that "this is the right and moral step," and Finance Minister Smotrich stated that the move had been planned in recent weeks, since the new Chief of Staff took office.

Quoting Michael Wolff from #Haaretz interview about his new book “All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America”
Wolff accuses #Trump of #antisemitism "in the old sense," claiming Trump fundamentally views Jews as different from himself. He asserts that Trump has "absolutely no interest in Israel" and describes Israeli politics as "boring" to Trump, who is "categorically uninterested in anything related to foreign policy and the Middle East."
Trump's support for Israel is purely performative rather than based on genuine concern, stating "It's important for him to appear as a friend of Israel, but he doesn't care about Israel." He points to Trump's muted response to the October 7 attacks despite political opportunity, and suggests his resentment toward #Netanyahu (for congratulating Biden in 2020) influenced his reaction.
Wolff mentions that even Trump's Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner refused to sign a statement defending Trump against antisemitism accusations, adding credibility to Wolff's claims about Trump's attitudes toward Jews and Israel.
[…] The Hamas attack on October 7 caught Donald Trump on his way to a massive campaign rally in Waterloo, Iowa. "This was the perfect stage to make a militant declaration in favor of Israel and stand behind its military plans," veteran journalist Michael Wolff wrote in his new and widely discussed book, "All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America." "The evangelical base in Iowa is overwhelmingly pro-Israel," he continues. "A Trumpian display of fire and fury toward the Palestinians would certainly have been received with sympathy." However, Trump, he wrote, delivered a pale, lukewarm statement of support, contrary to everything one might expect from a man who has never shied away from bombastic words. Especially when he had an opportunity to gain political capital.
