After the collapse of a two-month cease-fire, the fighting now looks as if it is escalating back to full-scale war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite street protests in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/20\/world\/middleeast\/israel-netanyahu-shin-bet-ronen-bar.html\" title=\"\">fire the head of Shin Bet, the domestic intelligence agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For some insight on the situation, I reached out to Patrick Kingsley, our Jerusalem bureau chief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Patrick:<\/strong> We are back in a familiar standoff. Israel\u2019s leadership wants both the safe return of Hamas\u2019s hostages, as well as Hamas\u2019s military defeat. But Hamas won\u2019t hand over the hostages without Israel\u2019s guaranteeing the group\u2019s survival in Gaza. And Israel can\u2019t defeat Hamas by force without harming many hostages. The cease-fire that collapsed this week was always likely to fall apart unless one of the sides softened its stance. But neither did. So Israel has returned to war in order to break Hamas\u2019s resolve by force. And that leaves things roughly where they were before the cease-fire began in January: in a deadlock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Do the protests in Israel feel more impactful this time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For now, Netanyahu doesn\u2019t seem swayed by the protesters calling for a new truce to save the hostages in Gaza. His biggest domestic priority is to pass a state budget by the end of the month. To do that, he needs the support of right-wing lawmakers, many of whom support the return to war and could abandon him if there\u2019s another truce. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Is President Trump\u2019s Gaza plan still on the table?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After proposing the expulsion of Gaza\u2019s population in January, Trump has said that the idea was only a recommendation and that no Palestinians would be expelled. His aides also said that it was less a definitive plan of action than an attempt to provoke Arab leaders into suggesting a viable alternative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Several Arab leaders, led by Egypt, did later propose their own plan for postwar Gaza \u2014 in which the territory would be governed by an apolitical committee as part of a Palestinian state. But the plan was vague, didn\u2019t explain how Hamas would cede power and was swiftly rejected by the Israeli government, which seeks to avoid discussion of Palestinian statehood.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"css-7ad88g e1mu4ftr0\"\/>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-1189og3 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Smoke rising from the attack on an airfield in Russia\u2019s Saratov region, yesterday.<\/span><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Reuters<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-138183d5\">Russia and Ukraine traded strikes as talks are planned<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ukraine <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/20\/world\/europe\/ukraine-attacks-russia-airbase-engels-drones.html\" title=\"\">attacked an airfield deep inside Russia<\/a>, officials said yesterday, as the U.S. worked to iron out a partial cease-fire.
