During the Gaza War, I have occasionally cited Mohammed al -Sharnat, a scholar of linguistics in Gaza, who is totally opposed to Hamas.
In his writings before the war, Al -Tasht praised Western democracy, condemned the suicide bombings and sought the Arabs and Jews to live peacefully and harmoniously. With the fire, he is now trying to recover and bury relatives’ bodies.
“Our dear Gaza is over,” he said, adding that the survivors envied the dead: “They don’t have to see it.”
After months of hunger and homelessness, and seeing his son injured, I break the heart of this tired man. The fire is welcome, but there is no clear way and not to celebrate.
“I just want to keep my tent on ruin and cry,” Al -Shantat wrote. “Pray for us.”
The Gaza war has been a tragedy and a failure for all. Hamas committed horrific atrocities in October 2023, which did not empower the Palestinians, but caused them to suffer. Israel then fought a war in which thousands of Palestinians have been killed so far, which fulfilled their goals either to completely abolish Hamas or liberate all hostages. The Americans enabled the murder by providing billions of dollars worth of weapons without any meaningful restrictions, making our loud talk about the “rules -based international order”.
What has all this war achieved? Hamas is militarily dissolved, but he is in charge and holds Israeli hostages. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders for war crimes. Thousands of Palestinian children are ampuits, and 377 rescue workers have been killed. And the sacred stone of lasting peace in the Middle East does not seem close.
Today is visible in Hamas’s control in Gaza Mohammed trirableHamas leader, who was killed by Israel in October, Yahya Sunwar’s hard -working younger brother. Hamas officers are once again patrolling the streets of Gaza. My Times colleagues wrote, “In the appearance of the militants, it was not suggested that they were on their last legs: they appear in good condition and wearing clean uniforms to drive decent cars.”
Former Secretary of Foreign Antony Blankin Said In a farewell speech, “We assume that Hamas has almost almost recruited new militants as it has lost.” Blackon emphasized that Israel needs to outline the future of a contradictory future for Palestinians and that “only Hamas cannot be defeated by the military campaign.”
I am afraid that the message about the virtue of endless war has not been received by any of Israel or Hamas.
A mutual process of unhealthy process has concluded that the other thing understands only one thing. So both are engaged in horrible violence Reliable accounts Injured Turtles, Raid And Atrocities By all
Many people condemn the atrocities on one side, making excuses for other people. Hamas kidnaps an 8 -month -old Israeli child, Kfir bibas. UN Human Affairs, Tom Fletcher, the United Nations Chief, and Palestinian children have been “killed, hungry and death.” SaidWith, with More than 3,000 children According to saved children, Gaza, under 5, died in Gaza.
Israel has not shown much humanity to Gaza’s children – a Times investigation revealed that Israeli authorities have severely weakened civilian reservations during their bombings – but then neither Hamas. On one occasion, Yahya Sunwar suggested in private messages that the bloodshed of Palestinian citizens would benefit this goal, According to the Wall Street Journal.
Now we have a firefire, but is it over -break? I usually surround the market for hope, but I find it difficult to be hopeful about Middle East peace.
Violence in the West Bank has increased, Settler Even President Trump is out of control despite lifting sanctions on them, and more talks are being discussed by Israel about the affiliation of the West Bank, which will probably mean. Palestinians deny democratic rights.
Meanwhile, Gaza negotiators pushed notes on the phase of the agreement. Middle East negotiators always do this, because anywhere is the only way to go. But I am afraid that we will not reach the end of Phase 2 and Phase 3 of this ceasefire agreement, more than that we have reached the end of the Oslo peace process.
If you only scoot, it is possible to imagine a path through Minefield with the leadership of Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the United States used Israel as a friend and weapon provider. Is This means that the Palestinian state will be in return for recognizing Israel as Saudi, and I suspect this will happen-but according to Trump’s reputation, it was the pressure of him and his team that helped to achieve a ceasefire. –
Any architecture for lasting peace will include complex talks with Saudi Arabia and many other players with the traumatic privileges of both Israelis and Palestinians. Nevertheless, in the event of a moral basis for any peace, geographical political will be needed.
I am not convinced that Hamas and Israel are morally equal: on their tours of Gaza before the war, I have always found Hamas as oppressive, immoral and homosexual, while Israel is better than Benjamin Netanyahu and a full There is a civil society and it still has a rich civil society. Democratic democracy within its limits. Nevertheless, there is no rank of human life: I completely believe in the moral equality of Palestinian, Israeli and American children – and the recognition of this common humanity is the best support for lasting peace.
