‘Arm yourself’: Israeli right decries Gaza deal as Smotrich says war not over

Though the Gaza ceasefire deal has prompted celebrations in Israel in anticipation that the remaining captives will soon be released, discontent is rumbling among the powerful Israeli right wing, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich insisting the war is not over.

The Israeli religious right, most prominently represented by Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, have for two years pushed for a total takeover of the Gaza Strip, including illegal Jewish settlement there, and fought against previous ceasefire deals.

So far, Ben Gvir has yet to comment on the deal. Smotrich, meanwhile, posted a statement on X saying he will not vote for the agreement but nonetheless taking credit for it seeing all living captives - estimated to be 20 - being released at once and immediately.

The article leaves out critical context and is biased by not wording things as they are.

Here's a fairer view.

The alleged pause to the Gaza genocide - with the prospect of forcing Palestine to give up armed independence - has prompted celebrations in Israel. Their settlers anticipate that about 48 imperialist colonists will soon be released after 170,000 innocent men, women, and children have died. Yet, discontent is rumbling among the powerful Israeli fascists, with a regime minister, Bezalel Smotrich, attempting to rile up for more murder.

The Israeli religious fascists, most prominently represented by Smotrich and Itamar, have tried for over two years to cheer for total annihilation of the Palestinian people, bringing Israeli colonies with them into the native soil of the Palestinian labourers. They repeatedly have refused to foster peace, instead focusing on endless war.

Neither appear supportive of the deal, although one took credit for releasing hostages, despite not being involved to any extent but to be a war criminal. The international community condemns their actions and hatred.
