And less than 24 hours after Donald announced this “everlasting peace”, Palestinians were still being killed in Gaza, aid trucks stopped from going into Gaza and a row broke out about the failure of Hamas to return the bodies of dead Israeli hostages.

All of these grim, and sadly all too predictable factors, threaten to topple the whole ceasefire process.

Palestinian health officials reported that seven people inspecting their homes in east Gazawere killed by Israeli drones, violating the fragile ceasefire.

The Israeli military denied this, telling The Independent that the individuals had passed through a “yellow line” to which they had withdrawn. Israeli journalists, however, suggest that the military has invisible lines that Palestinians unknowingly cross.

    DUH! That war is 80 years old. He thinks it’s been going on for only 2 years? He wants to blame 80 years of fighting on Biden. that orange bastard didn’t do anything revolutionary.

    Israel 100% knew that Hamas couldn’t return all the dead hostages that they “accidentally” killed when they indiscriminately carpet bombed everything. Where they would even store the bodies, in the non-existent non-refrigerated morgues? How they could even retrieve the dead bodies if it’s under tons of rubble and the iof kills everyone on sight?

    So now they’re playing the card “they’re not returning the dead hostages!!!11!” and then can restart the final solution genocide

      What is astounding is how much support Israel is getting from the mainstream media right now to push their narrative.

      Media is framing it as if a few dead Israeli bodies are a valid excuse to starve 2 million Palestinians

        The media is controlled by the same evils. Stop expecting more from them. It’s 2025 and being “astounded” by any of this shit should not be the reaction.

        It’s appalling, but it’s as predictable as the rising sun.

    People who know even a little bit of history, not much, just a little bit, knew this was doomed to failure. Like most of Trump’s accomplishments (triumphs?) this is more about style than substance.

    His peace has the same quality as all his other “products”: The tariffs that should save American workers’ jobs, his ruthless efforts to get prices for eggs down, etc, etc…

    Why are serious journalists even calling this a cease-fire anymore? Just because Israel says it is? Even though they keep opening fire on people?

      to get it written down that they did something ‘positive’ to try and manipulate history. that’s it… it’s lying to the future humans, or attempts at it.

        Israel needs to force the opinion to sway their way or they would be the worst country since Hitler took over Germany. Horrible historical read if it hasn’t even been 100 years and the next Hitler is Jewish.

        Edit: Just because it’s a free run cage doesnt mean its any better.

    This was just a publicity stunt because the entire world is enraged at Netanyahu and Trumpler and they were starting to get scared. Zionists have been very clear about their “final solution” nothing has changed.

    Imagine being dumb enough to think some hostages being released means a much larger conflict is magically over.

    Peace only for the comfortable Kahanists, more suffering for those still suffering.

    What a fucking contrast. There will be no truly peaceful settlement of the region as long as the extremists are breathing and plotting.

    I think pretty much all cease fires are pretty rocky at first, even ones that go on to be successful. People were killing each other for a reason - it’s hard to just turn that off. It remains to be seen whether this will be successful or not, it’s up to the leadership.

      It’s hard for a settler colonial power to accept stop killing the people it occupies
