Hamas just accepted Donald Trump’s “peace” plan. Here’s what Hamas didn’t accept, how Trump reacted, and why Netanyahu was blindsided.
As aid trickles into Gaza, famine-related deaths keep rising. The Gaza Health Ministry warns that “mass death” will soon be seen among infants, as mothers feed them “water instead of baby formula.”
Following Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla, organizers have vowed that they will continue “to sail until Gaza is free.” They’ve already announced that the next mission will send a thousand ships to Gaza.
With at least half a million people still left in Gaza City, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a “final warning” for residents to evacuate, saying those who remain will soon be regarded as “terrorists or terrorist supporters.”
The Trump-Netanyahu proposal lacks a clear timeline or method to enforce Israeli compliance. If Hamas rejects the plan, the U.S. says Israel can “finish the job” in Gaza. But if it accepts, it could plunge the Palestinian cause into deep uncertainty.
As Donald Trump touts his “21-Point Plan” to end the war in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu aims to convince the White House to support the ongoing genocide and possible Israeli annexation of the West Bank. Can he persuade Trump?
The devastation in Gaza is not just genocide but also ecocide – the intentional destruction of the ecology. Israel’s assault shows how settler-colonial violence is tied to environmental harm, and why climate justice depends on Palestinian liberation.
As the Israeli invasion of Gaza City advances, al-Shifa Hospital is facing severe shortages of essential medical supplies, leaving patients untreated and vulnerable. Staff and patients fear an imminent Israeli attack.
Benjamin Netanyahu walked back claims about Israel’s international isolation after causing a stock market crash, but he was right – the Gaza genocide has severely hurt Israel’s standing. We must deepen this isolation through boycotts and sanctions.
