What Does Israel Want From Renewed Attacks on Gaza? Analysts Explain the Political Calculus

Why did Israel resume its assault on Gaza as the ceasefire entered a critical phase? Analysts say the escalation targets recovery, security, and political arrangements Israel opposes.

Israeli airstrikes killed 31 Palestinians across Gaza on Saturday, hitting a police headquarters, residential neighborhoods, and tents sheltering displaced families, as attacks intensified just as the ceasefire entered a critical new phase, raising urgent questions about the timing and purpose of the escalation.

The Israeli assault came as Israel was expected to implement key commitments under the ceasefire agreement, including opening crossings, allowing the entry of humanitarian aid, and facilitating the return of governance mechanisms to the Strip, while mediators continued efforts to move the deal toward its next phase amid mounting humanitarian pressure in Gaza.

Evading Obligations and Sabotaging the Deal

International relations expert Ali Abo Rezeq said the escalation reflects Israel’s attempt to escape its own obligations under the ceasefire agreement, after months of placing the burden entirely on the Palestinian side.

“Politically, Israel is trying to flee the phase of obligations,” Abo Rezeq said. “All previous stages imposed requirements on Palestinians, such as handing over prisoners and bodies, which Israel used to claim the Palestinian side was obstructing the deal.”

He explained that the situation changed once the agreement required Israel to open crossings, allow aid, withdraw forces, and begin reconstruction.

“When Israel’s turn came, it began sabotaging the agreement with all its force,” he said.

Today the war returned once again…
The shelling came back, and with it fear moved into our homes and into the hearts of our children.
My children are trembling with terror, asking me: Will we be okay?
And we ask for only one simple right… to live without fear 💔🥺🥺

@joynewaccJoy
Lately, my eyes—weighted by the harrowing details of genocide and worn by the dust of my home’s ruins—fail to perceive the world. Something within them falters, forcing them to forsake the silent 'spring of inanimate things' that lingers around me.
Everything has dissolved into gray, drifting in a closed loop of mute screams—audible only to the ants, the stones, the trees, and the beasts; sensed by every living pulse, save for humanity.

◆Medical emergency

Articles:

Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Medical Hospital, reported a dire situation for kidney patients in Gaza. He stated that nearly 50% of dialysis patients awaiting passage through Rafah crossings or access to their medications died during the two years of war and blockade, with over 70% of essential drugs unavailable.
Currently, Al-Shifa operates only 34 dialysis machines, serving around 750 patients with kidney failure, placing an immense strain on its capacity, especially after the destruction of other major hospitals in Gaza, including the Indonesian Hospital in the north.
Dr. Abu Salmiya warned that delays in opening the Rafah crossing or imposing strict restrictions on travelers would worsen the crisis and put patients on the brink.

◆Problems with food, daily necessities, and living environment

We are not writing a request… we are writing a cry for help.
We are dying of hunger and cold, and we live each day as if it were our last.
We are living in unbearable conditions… Hunger is gnawing at us, the cold is slowly killing us, and fear is our constant companion.
We are living in a living hell, without shelter or safety.
Help us reach safety…
Save us, for life is slowly being stolen from us.
