“I’ve been saying since day one that Netanyahu and the thugs around him in the coalition and the government are not really interested in a ceasefire or saving the Israeli hostages – let alone saving the lives of thousands of Palestinians,” said Ofer Cassif, a member of the Israeli parliament representing the Hadash party.

He told Al Jazeera that Netanyahu's delay in the start of the talks about the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire is “a terrifying sign.”

The ability of Palestine to rebuild Gaza depends as much on UNRWA and International Aid as it does access to materials. WIll this new government step up and ensure that Palestine can get what it needs to rebuild?

Ultimately what Palestine needs is an end to the occupation. There can be no real justice or peace without that.

“There should be a word for the microscopic spark of hope that you dare not entertain in case the mere act of acknowledging it will cause it to vanish, like trying to look at a photon. You can only sidle up to it, looking past it,walking past it, waiting for it to get big enough to face the world.”

Is de beoogde wapenstilstand tussen Israël en Hamas een goede deal?

Zonder akkoord breekt de hel los in Gaza, zei Trump eerder. Maar dit blijft wellicht uit nu een akkoord tussen Israël en Hamas in zicht is. In Qatar onderhandelen de partijen over het vrijlaten van Israëlische gijzelaars, het terugtrekken van Israël uit het grootste gedeelte van Gaza en het laten gaan van Palestijnse gevangenen.
