The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
The renewed military operation is necessary to eliminate Hamas' infrastructure, expand a buffer zone along the border, and rescue the remaining hostages. Since Hamas' presence in densely populated areas makes civilian casualties unavoidable, Israel ensures Palestinians evacuate the combat zone for their safety.
Pro-Palestine narrative
Tel Aviv is committing war crimes within a systematic campaign of massacres in Gaza — the Israeli offensive constitutes collective punishment. By forcing Palestinians to flee under fire and blocking essential humanitarian aid and medical access, Israel is effectively making survival impossible for civilians in Gaza.
