War in Gaza: Israel ever more isolated? | To the Point

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under pressure to support a new truce and hostage release plan. The plan was tabled by the US, Israel’s closest ally, as an Israeli-endorsed road map for an “enduring ceasefire” to the conflict that has been raging since the October 7th attack by the terror group Hamas. Netanyahu labeled the plan a non-starter and insists Israel will keep fighting until Hamas is eliminated. Today we’re asking War in Gaza: Israel ever more isolated?

I am Canadian and I support Palestinian resistance 100%

[horatioxavier]

What about the 200 + Palestinian children crying for their MOTHERS. While being held by Israel in administrative detention.

[univeropa]

Israel should have never had support in the first place.

[movado]

The Palestinian people have been terrorized from the very beginning let’s talk about that

[ruyaal]

Is this the best that DW can do to get a diversity of opinion?? Or maybe all Germans think alike??

[grahamhader]

Not Israel
It's United state of Israel..
Last 75yrs...

[conniedean]

Israel is blaming someone else for something they are doing, children do that

[tethergobrrr]

It’s not Netanyahu who’s isolated. He perfectly represents Israel. The entire iniquitous project is in disgrace and in question.

The Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations: I was informed that the Israeli army has been included on the blacklist of countries that harm children

F-35 Lightning II Fighter jet
Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin United States.
Costs up to $110 million per aircraft.
The cost of the smallest missile, the GBU-39B Small Diameter Bomb used by the F-35 Lightning, is approximately US$40, 000 per unit.
350 million dollar pier, built with US taxpayers' dollars, broke up and adrift off the coast of Gaza.
An estimated 22 million US taxpayers' dollars for repairs to the pier.
Cost of a former school and tents in Gaza: Negligible.
Let that sink in.

Zero mention of the thousands of hostages Isrl is trtring. Asking Isrl for a permanent ceasefire is simply asking the criminal entity to follow the law of occupation.

[Anouargama]

These German analysts are laughable. Continuously speaking of Israeli counter terrorism instead of Palestinian resistance to occupation makes it difficult to take their opinions serious 🤦🏻‍♂️

[tethergobrrr]

An occupier has no right to security and should not expect it.

[rodrigoescalante]

Germany provides the 30% of Israel weapons

[cyranodebergerac]

This is a very biased view to the problem. Addressing to the Israeli hostages release - why nobody cares about Palestinian hostages unlawfully imprisoned? What those experts know if I know more as a private person?
What is wrong in Hamas proposal if indeed a lot of persons including teenagers are unlawfully captured by Israel?
Who believes that life of Israeli hostages really matters for Israeli government if instead of hostages exchange IDF continues devastation of Gaza?

[russmian]

A "war" between one of the best equipped armies air force Mossad etc.. against guys in sandals and pyjamas with RPG'S ? You call that war ?

DON'T FORGET in 2019 netenyahu told his Likud colleagues that funding hamas is his strategy

A comedian must be writing these DW question.

[jimschachtschneider]

I honestly do not know if the IDF is incompetent or just does not care about the civilian death count. The official explanation of the reasons for attacks on civilians does not seem to match the reality.

[mhgaffney]

Any people whose land has been stolen and militarily occupied has the right - even the obligation -- to resist the occupiers and, if necessary, to use force. So, why does the world media call this terrorism?
