Israel ended the Hamas ceasefire with deadly airstrikes across Gaza, days after the US ordered an offensive against the Houthis in an escalation of hostilities against Iran-backed militant groups.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Tuesday to act “with increasing military strength” against Hamas, saying the Palestinian organization had refused to release the remaining hostages taken during the October 2023 attacks. The move brought to an abrupt end any immediate hope the near two-month truce would be extended into a second phase, initially slated for the start of March.
Joumanna Bercetche, host of Bloomberg Horizons Middle East & Africa, reports on the latest developments in the region and whether the Arab League can do anything to halt the resumption of violence. Joumanna speaks with Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg Radio.
