“While the Gaza ceasefire is a positive step the danger to the occupied West Bank from an Israeli invasion continues to rise. It's brought about a huge amount of relief that the bombardment will stop, but I think crucially the ceasefire does not mean an end to the occupation neither in Gaza or the West Bank. So people are under no illusion that this means an end to Israeli control over their lives. I think people are pessimistic as to whether the ceasefire will actually hold because they know the Israeli regime is already trying to sabotage it. The situation in the occupied West Bank remains as precarious as ever. We saw a year of genocide in Gaza go unchecked so the big question is could they do the same in the West Bank? I'm afraid without accountability measures the answer is yes.”

“The only solution for the future of Gaza is 'national unity'. The best solution is a very clear formula that we agreed about in the Beijing agreement, which says that a national consensus government should be formed immediately. There is pressure going in that direction. We are talking about it. We are demanding it. We're speaking about it in the media, and the agreement is there. It was signed by all the 14 Palestinian parties. We need a body that has international legitimacy, that has legitimacy in the region, and that is capable of organizing and supporting the process of reconstruction. Hamas told us very clearly, they don't want to be the government. They don't want to be in the government, but they want a government that they can accept. That's what we all agree about, a government that can cooperate with everybody.”

“What happened earlier in Gaza City's as-Saraya square is that the military wing of Hamas handed over three female Israeli captives in a scene that felt beyond imagination. The military wing of Hamas - which has been engaging in battles with the Israeli occupation forces across many areas in the strip - appeared today, organising the implementation of the deal and the exchange of the Israeli captives. We saw crowds of Palestinians gathering in the area around the fighters of the military wing of Hamas, chanting for liberation and freedom. So, apparently, despite the significant blows that the military wing of Hamas has endured, they appeared today as an organized force on the ground. This could indicate that in the foreseeable future, they will still exist as a military force despite the Israeli claims that they managed to degrade their military capabilities and eradicate their military governance of the territory.”

“The agreement is a fragile truce, not a cessation of conflict. It will require continued monitoring and accountability and an almost immediate return to the negotiation table to keep the remaining phases alive. President-elect Donald Trump's warnings to both Hamas and Israel have clearly been effective in reviving the drawn-out negotiations where the Biden administration proved unwilling to exert adequate pressure over Israel's leadership.”

“For Palestinians, who have endured more than 15 months of devastating and relentless bombardment, have been displaced from their homes repeatedly, and are struggling to survive in makeshift tents without food, water and basic supplies, the nightmare will not be over even if the bombs cease.

Until justice is realised, until dignity and equality are more than distant dreams, the cycle will continue.”

This ceasefire must allow for a huge surge in humanitarian aid, which is so desperately needed to end the suffering in Gaza.

I wasn't prepared for that. wWhy people fly Ukrainian flags in solidarity with the war-torn European nation across the Danish capital but there are no Palestine flags visible. Let's face it, there's no genocide of Ukrainians, but there is of Palestinians.”

Those still detained remain held without charges or trial under inhumane conditions and at risk of torture.”

“The official position by Israel to justify its attack on Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital is based on intelligence-driven reports that Hamas members were gathered inside the medical facility. So it was encircled. But under siege. And then Israel went in and, according to official reports, apprehended over 250 people. Even if that is the case, that does not justify rendering the hospital inoperational - meaning that it cannot function and it's just one of three or four hospitals that [have] seen the same fate. I happen to think that no matter who is in the hospital, and no matter what is hidden or stashed in that hospital, hospitals should be out of bounds for the military.”

“The Israeli military has deliberately targeted law enforcement and those who work in protecting and securing delivery of aid into Gaza since the beginning of the war. This has created a power vacuum, throwing the whole Strip into lawlessness. There is no law or order, creating mayhem across Gaza. The suspension of UNRWA's operations of delivery of aid to a much needed population is a byproduct of ongoing attacks on UNRWA, its facilities and partners - the World Central Kitchen was attacked yesterday. Employees do not feel safe in the facilities or on the ground, moving trucks from one area to another.”
