Israel destroyed much of Gaza’s internet infrastructure. A Saudi proposal to rebuild it was watered down after Israeli and U.S. protests.

    Is the genocide coming to an end because the international community stepped in, or because there aren’t any Palestinians left? I’ve been away from the internet and haven’t seen the news lately

      To some extent, both and also local pressure. While Israel publicly continues to claim they don’t care what the world says about them, the isolation is hurting them massively. And with US elections coming up, their only true ally wants to end the war now to stop bleeding votes with his support for genocide.

      They are also destroyed 80% of all buildings in Gaza to the point it’s unlivable without full reconstruction. I’m sure they will push to steal the land next.

      And there is also local pressure. Everyone with eyes or who is not paid by Israel lobby knows that Israel is the reason hostages are not home yet. While Hamas is holding them, there have been 2 ceasefire proposals guaranteeing all hostage return/Palestinian civilian release from prison that Hamas accepted and Israel rejected. So people are protesting in the streets on masse there both for him to step down and to stop killing their hostages.
