Mediators continue to stress the urgent need for a breakthrough in aid delivery\u2014though efforts are met with Israeli intransigence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1932\">Many observers of the mediation track agree that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s maneuvering is the primary reason behind the continued suffering of Gaza\u2019s population, especially as he pushes to escalate the genocide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"2305\">Despite all efforts by mediators to de-escalate, Netanyahu and hardliners in his government are determined to continue the war. According to Hebrew sources, Netanyahu only speaks of plans to intensify the war and potential prisoner swap negotiations. He ignores any voices calling for peace and remains deaf to Israeli protesters demanding a ceasefire and a hostage deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2307\" data-end=\"2773\">In both Tel Aviv and the occupied territories, Netanyahu and his government are widely accused of undermining democracy and disregarding the fate of captives in Gaza.

Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot also warned that Israel is \u201cin danger\u201d due to growing internal division, while former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel is \u201ccloser than ever to civil war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2775\" data-end=\"3158\">In a scathing new attack, Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Lieberman told Netanyahu: &#8220;You won\u2019t escape responsibility\u2014you\u2019re the prime minister who dodged military service and the prime minister of October 7, 2023.&#8221; Opposition leader Yair Lapid also accused Netanyahu of betraying Israelis and stealing from the middle class to preserve his coalition and fund religious schools.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15052\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15052\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15052 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pp-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"UN: Israeli Attacks in Gaza Show Signs of Atrocities as Aid Blockade Pushes Strip to Collapse\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pp-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pp-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pp-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pp-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pp.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gaza humanitarian collapse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"3165\" data-end=\"3223\"><strong data-start=\"3169\" data-end=\"3223\">Hamas Shows Flexibility Toward Ceasefire Agreement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3225\" data-end=\"3417\">Observers say the party most responsible for sabotaging diplomacy is Israel\u2014especially Netanyahu and his far-right ministers\u2014despite ongoing U.S. and Israeli efforts to shift blame onto Hamas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3419\" data-end=\"3702\">Close monitoring of the negotiations shows Hamas has responded positively to every initiative and has shown willingness to reach a final resolution.
