Despite mounting international calls for a ceasefire, Israel's security cabinet has approved plans to intensify military operations, aiming to defeat Hamas and secure the release of hostages. This decision has faced criticism from global leaders, the United Nations, and even some within Israel's own military leadership.

The documentary features voices from across Israeli society, including an eighteen-year-old preparing to join the military who explains his support for the war. Families of hostages killed by Hamas advocate for an immediate ceasefire, hoping for the return of their loved ones' bodies.
