Netanyahu 'Uncertain': How Many Civilian Corpses Does a Truce Cost?
Al Jazeera reports Israel killed at least three Gazans amid heavy flooding, painting a grim picture of survival. But the real story isn't just the deaths; it's Netanyahu's casual admission to his cabinet that he's 'uncertain' how long the truce will hold. This isn't newfound doubt; Netanyahu has repeatedly demonstrated a pattern of undermining peace efforts—see his undermining of the Oslo Accords
(1990s) and relentless settlement expansion, often concurrent with 'peace talks.' He's been 'uncertain' about peace for decades, a convenient stance when escalating conflict serves right-wing political agendas. How many 'uncertainties' does it take before the world stops treating ongoing violence as a surprising development? One might wonder if the 'uncertainty' isn't about peace but about how
efficiently the systematic dehumanization of Palestinians can continue without international condemnation reaching critical mass. Apparently, even devastating floods can't pause the 'uncertainty' of existential threats for Gaza's inhabitants.
