Israel's decision to resume its military campaign in Gaza after breaking a cease-fire in March has been widely criticized as a failure, both strategically and diplomatically. Despite advancing further into Gaza, killing senior leaders, and destroying parts of the tunnel network, Israel has not achieved its main objectives: Hamas remains in control of key areas, hostages have not been freed in significant numbers, and the humanitarian situation has worsened dramatically.

The blockade on food and renewed fighting have led to increased hunger and suffering among Palestinians, drawing condemnation from international allies and organizations. Israeli society is increasingly questioning the war's effectiveness, as the prolonged conflict has strained the military, endangered hostages, and damaged Israel's global standing. Critics argue that the lack of a clear strategy and political motivations have contributed to the ongoing crisis, with no resolution in sight.
