Israel and Hamas appear to be inching closer towards a deal for a ceasefire and a release of some of the hostages still being held by the militant group in Gaza, while the UN children’s agency has warned that 17,000 children have been left without families or been separated from them by the conflict.
Qatar, which has been mediating between Israel and Hamas, indicated that the militant group had given its initial support for a deal after weeks of delicate and secretive negotiations.
However, while an aide to Hamas’s political leader said the group had received details of the proposed deal, it had yet to reply.
A Qatari official later clarified to Reuters that there was “no deal yet” and that although “Hamas has received the proposal positively”, Qatar was “waiting for their response”.
There is a solution. One state for everyone. Palestine.
So long as there is a settler-colonial ethno-state occupying the land - there won’t be peace, because peace is antithetical to the process of colonizing Palestine.
Well that won’t happen. Israel isn’t gonna give up power or land. Neither side will be willing to coexist without concessions that the other won’t agree to.
I’m not siding with Israel… I’m just making a prediction.
That’s very different to saying there’s no solution.
Apartheids don’t like being told to stop feeding on the blood and resources their hosts - of course, that’s very true. But the cat is out of the bag. The apartheid will fall and the lands of Palestine will regrow - the question is now how long it will take and how many innocent people Israel will kill before it implodes.
There’s a solution to everything. I meant a solution that is at all likely to happen.
To be clear: Israel is committing genocide with their superior fire power. This is wrong. I hope a solution that can create a lasting peace is found…
… but I would not bet money on that happening.
