The recent escalation in Gaza has ended a two-month ceasefire, resulting in a surge of violence that rekindles fears of prolonged conflict. Israel claims to target Hamas militants, but the human cost is staggering, with hundreds killed, including many civilians. The humanitarian situation worsened during the ceasefire due to aid blockages, heightening tensions further as international responses highlight violations of human rights and potential war crimes. Prime Minister Netanyahu's insistence on continuing military operations reflects the government's struggle amidst calls from families of hostages, demonstrating an urgent need for a resolution in an increasingly dire situation.
Evacuation orders issued by the military suggest that a renewed ground offensive may be on its way for traumatised and repeatedly displaced Palestinians.
The British foreign secretary, David Lammy, belatedly acknowledged that as a breach of international law on Monday only for the prime minister's spokesperson to rebuke him.
