The Israeli government has delayed progressing to phase two of the Gaza ceasefire deal with Hamas, leading to protests outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence. The protesters were angry at his decision to extend phase one and frustrated with the delays in fully implementing the agreement. Despite Israel blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza, the focus of the protests was on Israeli captives in Gaza. It seemed that Israel was moving towards ending the ceasefire and resuming war on Gaza. The United Nations Children’s Fund warned of devastating consequences for children and families in Gaza due to the aid blockade. The Israeli government is also considering calling up reserve soldiers in anticipation of renewed conflict in Gaza. Public anger towards Netanyahu is growing, with families of captives blaming him for the impasse in negotiations. There is skepticism over Netanyahu’s commitment to the ceasefire agreement, with doubts about his intentions to break the agreement. Netanyahu’s political tactics and ambiguity in handling the ceasefire deal have led to criticism, with concerns about his leadership. Mereka merasa, jika mereka memiliki seseorang yang lain bertanggung jawab, mereka bisa memotong bantuan ke Gaza dan mendapatkan tepuk tangan untuk melakukannya.”
