There sure do seem to be a lot of ceasefires around at the moment, Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, so we do have to ask why is there still so much fighting?
Obviously with a genocidal nation on Palestine's and Lebanon's doorstep, their ceasefires are with Israel although since the Gaza ceasefire was announced in October 2025, 940 Palestinians have been murdered by Israeli forces and Israel now controls 60% of Gaza, compared to around half when the ceasefire was signed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently saying it planned to take even more.
In Lebanon, where a ceasefire was announced in April 2026, Israeli troops captured a Crusader fortress over this weekend in their deepest incursion in 26 years with Hezbollah firing rockets into northern Israel with the wanted War Criminal, Netanyahu, claiming to expand its occupation of Lebanese territory and bomb more Northern cities.
Hezbollah did not officially agree to the April ceasefire but said it would abide by it if Israel ceased its attacks and withdrew from Lebanon but Israel says it will keep fighting until the threat of rocket and drone attacks on its northern communities has been eliminated.
In both Gaza and Lebanon, Israel says it maintains the right to strike in response to perceived threats or by attempts by suspected militants which is a very woolly way of saying a threat is whatever we decide it is hence covering themselves for bombs dropped on tent refugee sites, hospitals or pretty much anything where the results are death and devastation.
Meanwhile in the still blocked Strait of Hormuz, the United States and Iran have sporadically traded fire since their ceasefire announcement but neither say the other has done enough to trip them back into a war with Iran meanwhile demanded a ceasefire in Lebanon as part of any truce with the United States, showing just what a bad hand the USA holds as Trump is desperate to end the war he started.
In his desperation her has usually tried to bounce or cower Iran into agreeing to his demands by threatened to resume the war while Iranian officials show they are more laid back with the length of time to reach the agreement that Trump is begging them to sign.
I guess at some point Iran and America will agree and the Americans will pootle back to their own side of the Globe while Israel has been murdering Palestinians for over 80 years in a brutal military occupation and unless someone stops them, they will conclude their Genocide of Gaza and Lebanon will quiet down and continue to simmer but until Israel, Hezbollah and the Palestinians learn to play nice, every ceasefire is always going to be just a temporary ceasefire.
