Unnamed American sources expressed surprise and anger that Israel is continuing targeted killings in Gaza despite reportedly agreeing to halt them as part of a disarmament deal. The sources said the killings give Hamas an excuse to back out and isolate Israel, and accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of killing three innocent children, calling it 'bloodthirsty.'
The harsh criticism, reported by The Zioneer's own the source, quotes unnamed American sources expressing surprise that Israel continues targeted killings in Gaza despite reportedly agreeing to a halt as part of the emerging disarmament framework. The sources argue that the killings provide Hamas with a pretext to abandon the deal, which has been under negotiation for months. The accusation that Prime Minister Netanyahu 'killed three innocent children' is particularly sharp, reflecting deep frustration with Israeli policy.
Earlier today, The Zioneer published an analysis suggesting that reports of a halt to targeted killings were premature. The current criticism underscores the diplomatic tension surrounding the deal, which requires Hamas to disarm in exchange for a ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal. The sources also warned that the killings isolate Israel among mediating countries.
