Ceasefire Collapse Fuels Gaza Conflict, Hostage Crisis, and Civil Unrest

Israel intensifies military operations while Hamas warns of hostage risks, and protests surge in Gaza and Israel against leadership decisions.

Israeli military operations in Gaza have resumed since March 18, with over 830 Palestinians killed, adding to the 50,000+ deaths since October 2023.
Hamas has warned that ongoing Israeli bombardments jeopardize the lives of 58 remaining hostages, threatening fatalities if forceful rescue attempts continue.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened further escalation, including potential territorial annexation, to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages.
Protests in Gaza have emerged, with demonstrators criticizing Hamas governance and demanding an end to the war, despite crackdowns by Hamas security forces.
Domestic opposition to Netanyahu grows in Israel, fueled by his handling of the conflict, the dismissal of the Shin Bet chief, and controversial judicial reforms.
