Israel intensifies Gaza killings to quash Hamas’s disarmament plan

Israel's brutal killings in Gaza continue despite Hamas's disarmament plan, exposing the ruling extremists' true intentions to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians.

Why it matters

This story matters to someone following Iran because it highlights the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the Israeli government's intentions to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians.

Israel is killing many Palestinians in Gaza, even though Hamas said it would give up its guns and agree to a peace deal. This is because Israel wants to get rid of all Palestinians, no matter what. It's like a big, cruel plan to make the Palestinians disappear.

Analysis

A $60B Vote of Confidence

Israel's ruling extremists have proven to be hostile to the native Palestinians, regardless of their religion or ethnicity. The ultimate goal is to depopulate entire Palestine of Palestinians. The October 7 attack by Hamas served as a pretext to expedite the ethnic cleansing. This vicious plan gives rise to the speculation that ruling extremists in Israel were most probably aware of the Hamas attack and intentionally did not prevent it.

Why Cursor?

Those advocating the 'Greater Israel' project fear that Hamas's latest policy announcement has stripped away their pretense, exposing their determination to complete their campaign and ultimately annex the entire Gaza Strip. They are speeding up their brutality against the Gazans to force Hamas to retract its disarmament policy and then claim: Did you notice that Hamas was lying that it was giving up its arms and agreeing to the Gaza Peace Board?

The Road Ahead

The continued brutalities against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank clearly show that the ultimate goal is to exterminate Palestine of its native population in different ways, no matter how cruel it is. According to Middle East Eye (MEE), Fatima Nofal gave birth to Zaid after losing three sons in an air strike in 2023. Fifteen months later, another strike killed Zaid in central Gaza. After two years of genocidal war in Gaza, Israel agreed to a ceasefire on paper in 2025 to save face. However, it has continued to bomb Gaza on a near-daily basis. It has butchered at least 1,200 people since the ceasefire began. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said in June that around 260 children had been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire began. UNICEF spokesperson James Elder described the situation as a 'cruel and deadly illusion of a ceasefire', saying that, on average, one child was being killed every day. After witnessing the deaths of her own children, Nofal rightly believes Palestinian civilians, particularly women and children, have been deliberately targeted by Israel.

Key points

  • Israel has intensified killings in Gaza despite Hamas's announcement to disarm and transfer power to Palestinian technocrats.
  • The ultimate goal is to exterminate the Palestinian population.
  • Hamas's disarmament plan has been met with skepticism by Israel, which has continued to bomb Gaza on a near-daily basis.
  • The continued brutalities against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank suggest that Israel's ultimate goal is to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians.
  • The world must now recognize who stands in the way of peace: the Palestinians, or the extremists in Israel?
The Upside

If Hamas's disarmament plan is successful, it could lead to a reduction in violence in Gaza and a chance for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. However, Israel's continued brutalities against Palestinians suggest that this may not be the case.

The Downside

The continued brutalities against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank suggest that Israel's ultimate goal is to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians, regardless of the cost in human lives. This could lead to a complete destruction of the Palestinian population and a permanent occupation of Gaza.
