".... But more than 200 Palestinians, including children, have reportedly died in strikes that Israel says are in response to Hamas attacks. Thousands of bodies are still believed to be trapped beneath the ruins – debris which, it is estimated, would take a fleet of more than a hundred lorries seven years to shift. Aid is flowing again, but remains wholly inadequate, with NGOs warning that Israel’s new registration system is obstructing delivery. Israeli demolitions continue in the half of Gaza that its forces still hold. Unicef warned this week that the education system – in so far as it survives after two years of war and the destruction of more than 90% of school and university buildings – is on the brink of collapse. New babies are born literally in the rubble, to mothers who have neither homes nor working hospitals.
.... The ceasefire agreement was reached by deferring all the difficult questions. But the US is keen to press ahead with a UN security council resolution mandating the establishment of an international stabilisation force. That will require agreement on multiple difficult issues: the force’s mandate and composition – Israel has rejected a role for Turkish troops – and its relationship with a Palestinian civil police force; US military leadership; details of Israeli military withdrawal, and of what happens to Hamas weapons and fighters.
.... Israel still resists allowing international journalists to enter Gaza. Public attention must be maintained to sustain Mr Trump’s interest, persuade him to press Israel to comply with the existing agreement, and ensure that further steps do not utterly betray Palestinians. Only sustained pressure can hope to bring anything approaching justice and lasting peace to the region. Palestinians need not only food, but a future."
