Netanyahu’s Ceasefire: Now Hiring Drama Extras in Rafah

In a plot twist worthy of Netflix diplomacy, Netanyahu dashed into Rafah Tuesday, ordering 'powerful' airstrikes after a firefight involving sniper fire and anti-tank missiles, killing 104 Palestinians—including 46 kids and 20 women—like a tragic season finale. This happened despite a ceasefire hailed as Trump's greatest achievement, now threatened after Hamas 'dragged its feet' returning 13 hostage bodies. Hamas plays hardball by postponing body handovers and staging a fake excavation caught on drone cam—bulldozers and rubble and all—a ploy Israel said was 'cheating the Trump admin.' Trump, meanwhile, flew between Tokyo and Seoul tweeting that Hamas will be ‘destroyed’ if it doesn't behave, which may be the politest threat ever delivered mid-flight.
