Netanyahu: 'Endless War' Until All Hostages Are… Deceased?
While France 24 reports on families desperately seeking to recover the bodies of their deceased relatives like Guy Illouz, captured from a music festival, Netanyahu's government continues its 'total victory' rhetoric. This isn't new; Netanyahu has a storied career of leveraging conflict, from his 1990s opposition to Oslo to his repeated declarations of 'existential threats' that justify perpetual
military operations. Each 'endless war' narrative serves to consolidate power and deflect from corruption charges, while the humanitarian cost – and the lives of actual hostages – appears to become secondary. One might wonder if the 'rescue' strategy isn't about bringing back living individuals, but rather about prolonging a 'security' crisis that keeps the hardliners in power and U.S. military
aid flowing. How many 'last warnings' will Gaza endure before the world acknowledges this performative brutality as policy, not just an unfortunate byproduct?
