People in Gaza focused on survival as negotiations to end war continue
The new proposed US plan to end the war in Gaza has been delivered by US President Donald Trump, after a meeting with the Israeli prime minister.
It calls for a full demilitarisation of Hamas and its full removal from governance, which might be seen by the group as surrender.
Palestinians on the ground believe that this plan, if it’s going to be approved, will be some sort of foreign control over Gaza, with the deployment of a foreign stabilisation force that sounds logistically and politically difficult, especially in a war zone.
People believe that this plan aims to completely reshape Gaza’s governance, economy and security. But it is still unclear to what extent Hamas will agree on this proposal, and to what extent Israel will commit to its terms.
For now, people are focusing on survival in light of the current discussions taking place in multiple regional metropolises. People on the ground are still experiencing hell on earth, while bombardment continues to unfold on an hourly basis.
UK PM welcomes Trump’s plan for Gaza
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has joined other leaders in welcoming US President Donald Trump’s plan to end Israel’s war on Gaza.
“We call on all sides to come together and to work with the US Administration to finalise this agreement and bring it into reality,” Starmer said in a statement.
“Hamas should now agree to the plan and end the misery, by laying down their arms and releasing all remaining hostages,” he said.
Yeah welcome to be able to push the genocide under the rug again. Stop calling it a 'war', it's a genocide. Now dangling the 'carrot' of slowing down the genocide and going back to full occupation of Gaza.
Even if Israel would actually commit to all of it, the situation will only be back at Oct 6th, yet now with more settlers and more land annexed in the West Bank while Gaza is being controlled by a Zionist approved 'government' like the PA is/was for the West Bank, and permanently disconnected from Egypt, not even having their own border anymore.
