Today, Donald Trump, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Pedro Sánchez and others are meeting to: 'End the war in the Gaza Strip, enhance efforts to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East, and usher in a new era of regional security and stability' which would be amazing if it does but it does leave some unresolved issues.
In the coming weeks and months, a true picture of the sheer devastation of Gaza will come into view and accountability will need to be sought.
Most, if not all, of the Hamas leadership responsible for the October 2023 attacks are dead but the ones behind the Genocide by Israel and their backers are still around and they and any remaining Hamas leadership need to be tried and punished.
The concerns are that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, a man who had been reluctant to end the war ever since it began, will seek a return to the battlefield once all Israelis are safely home which is why Palestine not only needs to be rebuilt, but the root causes which stretch back 80 years are addressed
If the ceasefire holds, and who knows with Donald Trump leading the peace as he appears to get bored and move on to different toys very quickly, but if it does hold then the military occupation, annexing of Palestinian land and the illegal settlements will have to be discussed else we end up back where we started, the conditions that enabled it all allowed to continue to fester.
People are returning to where their homes used to be in Gaza City and the death toll of 67,000 will certainly rise as more bodies are pulled out of the rubble but the focus needs to be on protecting Palestinians from its warmongering genocidal neighbour just as much as protecting Israel from another terrorist atrocity from Gaza.
Donald Trump is due to take a victory lap for his peacemaking as if unaware that he enabled the genocide so the United Nations and International Criminal Court have to make sure that the war criminals are bought to book for their war crimes.
Most importantly though, after the clean up and the true devastation is shown once journalists are allowed into Gaza, leaders who aided and abetted the genocide which we witness before our eyes, must not be allowed to brush it under the table, to say let us move forward and not back because if we normalise this and return to the status quo where Palestinians continue to be killed and their homes and land stolen, then we may have ended one war only to keep in place the conditions for the next one.

80 years. really? try 4,000 years... or are you referring to when you brits dropped the ball? that would more like 100 years ago.
obama got a nobel because he told the world the US would treat inferiors and insignificant nations as equals - what a joke. then he bombed the shit out of syria and other places.
trump, like it not, combined with israel's unceasing military pressure has almost eliminated hamas. i say almost because hamas and everyone in gaza that supports/supported hamas is evil. evil never dies. it will reemerge which is why a 2 state solution will never work.
historically, it was all israel's territory. the people the left likes to call palestinians are essentially arabs that were rejected by other arab nations and were arbitrarily given a name by Brits. which is why egypt, syrian, iraq, iran, turkey don't offer them any help - they don't like the people the left call palestinian...
hamas made all this harm to the people gaza happen by attacking civilians. then, they enabled the ongoing destruction of gaza by refusing to release the hostages. the people enabled all this to happen when they elected hamas. then they enabled this destruction to continue by hiding and supporting the people they elected...
they got what the germans and japanese got circa 1945
Do you get a cracker for parroting Israeli propaganda against their genocide which you seem happy to defend or even bizarrely refuse to accept?
i'm not defending genocide. i never made such a statement. this is an example of how you misrepresent truth. which is what you did when you called me racist, sexist, homophobe, and xenophobe... your go to move is to make personal attacks... you ignore facts you dislike and attack the person... quite the journalist you are... you are actually more like an iranian psyops analyst…
i disagree that what is happening is genocide, and you say i support genocide. that is quite a leap lucyp...
you also imply that i have some allegiance or get some reward from Israel. sorry, there is zero data to support that assertion. let me make it clear for a normal person (you being a leftist won't get it): the middle east is a geopolitical mess and Israel is the only nation that has common views with Americans. That alone makes Israel the best potential ally in the middle east. that is why i support Israel. Israel enables the US to have some influence in the middle east which is an important global region when you are the world’s only liberal, democratic super power.
now, you don't have to speculate about my rationale anymore. it is not because i'm christian. it is not because Israel rewards me. it is because i don't like the economics or governing of any other nation in the middle east.
as you noted, the un definition (which, as is common with the un, is useless) and you also noted that it was constructed by Israel - which also does not make it a good definition.
genocide is when someone wipes out, or attempts to wipe out, an entire race or culture with violence - see leftist china's actions the past 50 years...
1.) the people in palestine are not "a" race, they are almost all arabs which is a thriving race/society that exists far beyond gaza.
2.) the people in palestine have flourished since 1968, and hundreds of thousands of them have massed together in gaza making an easy target. so, if Israel is trying to eliminate them, they are doing a piss poor job. this makes it clear that Israel is not trying to kill all the arabs in gaza, much less the world (genocide).
3.) Israel isn't even trying to eliminate all the arabs in Israel... that seems like a good place to start genocide - within your own borders...
interestingly, from looking at your blog posts it is clear you don't really care about genocide. there are several other violent actions taking place in the world, that have been ongoing for years, that collectively haven't had as much of your attention in decades as you have given Israel in the past 10 days. actions that have killed far more people than what has happened in gaza since 1968.
no, it seems you have an angst against Israel.
> is it because they are generally religious and you hate believers?
> is it because you are just another anchorless leftist and your leftist leaders have decided to support violent arabs (funded by iranian persians - more than a little irony in that) instead of Israel? You little sheep you… say “baaaa”.
> is it because you get a cracker from your publishers for towing the corporate line they tell you to support?
> is it because you are an antisemite?
> is it because you are from gaza and fake being a blonde, female, brit?
regardless, you seem to be antisemite as much as i support genocide...
btw, several nations in the middle east openly state that their ambition is to kill all Jews - that lucyp is genocide...
Enjoy that cracker won’t you.
sure, enjoy your "palestinian" cracker
