In recent days, there has been an unprecedented protest in Israel, with people demanding that Netanyahu step down. Although the UN Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, the Israeli side does not seem to have paid attention to it. On the evening of March 31, Netanyahu announced that the government had approved plans for the military's ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, what does this mean?
Rafah, once Israel's designated "safe zone" in Gaza, has become a sanctuary and has seen a dramatic increase in numbers. In the event of a ground operation, a humanitarian catastrophe will be inevitable, Netanyahu said the military will evacuate civilians, but will the evacuation plan go smoothly?
How can people get information about the evacuation in the face of communications disruptions in Gaza? Are Netanyahu's promises credible? Demonstrations have been sparked in Israel, with more than 100,000 people demanding elections and the resignation of the prime minister.
Netanyahu said the government was working to keep the hostages safe, but refused to accept all of Hamas's demands. Ceasefire negotiations have reached an impasse, and it is difficult for the two sides to agree on issues such as the exchange of hostages and the duration of the ceasefire.
A ceasefire still appears to be elusive in the face of the impasse between the government and Hamas, which will further exacerbate discontent with the government among the Israeli population. What's behind this protest and conflict?
