Israel's current leader passed a bill that gives him authority to ignore courts. He's a dictator wannabe facing multiple corruption charges, hence the genocide in Gaza. Now that the genocide is coming to the end, he wants to go to war with Hezbollah so he can stay in power and avoid those charges with his immunity. It's a typical fascist state. From their Zionist ideology to genocide.
Is the genocide coming to an end because the international community stepped in, or because there aren't any Palestinians left? I've been away from the internet and haven't seen the news lately
To some extent, both and also local pressure. While Israel publicly continues to claim they don't care what the world says about them, the isolation is hurting them massively. And with US elections coming up, their only true ally wants to end the war now to stop bleeding votes with his support for genocide.
They are also destroyed 80% of all buildings in Gaza to the point it's unlivable without full reconstruction. I'm sure they will push to steal the land next.
And there is also local pressure. Everyone with eyes or who is not paid by Israel lobby knows that Israel is the reason hostages are not home yet. While Hamas is holding them, there have been 2 ceasefire proposals guaranteeing all hostage return/Palestinian civilian release from prison that Hamas accepted and Israel rejected. So people are protesting in the streets on masse there both for him to step down and to stop killing their hostages.
What kind of a world are we building for our children?
I read that there have been protests, but I don't understand how this dude is still leader. Does he still have enough support from the rest of the population? Also, why is the USA supporting this genocide? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Wartime unity. And while less radical parts of the government stopped supporting him, he joined with radical parts to stay in power while compromising on everything he previously said he will never accept.
