  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 4 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 4 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 4 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 4 hours ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 5 hours ago

“We don't have anything else. This patient should be in hospital but because of overcrowding he was transferred to the field hospital. We have dozens like this patient. We have children it's hard to treat. We change their dressings one day and the next we find infection because there is no sterilisation, there are no specialised places. There are no bin bags.”

“Our vision is very clear: We want to stop the aggression. What is going on in the ground is a big catastrophe. Brief pauses in the conflict would not be in the interest of Hamas or Palestinians. Israel will take the card of the hostages and after that they will start a new round of mass killing and massacres against our people. We will not play this game.”

“The problem this time is different interpretations from Israel and Hamas. Hamas insists this time the deal cannot be a prisoner exchange solely - it has to be based on a permanent ceasefire.”

“The only thing I could think as I stood there in this room with a massive hole in the wall was - if a child in a paediatric ward, recovering from a double amputation, cannot be safe, who can be safe and where can be safe in Gaza? Nowhere is safe for anybody. This should not be allowed to happen, the world should not allow it to happen.”

“I'm furious that children who are recovering from amputations in hospitals are then killed in those hospital. Nasser Hospital, the largest operational one left in the enclave, had been shelled twice in the past 48 hours.”

“Militants moved as close as possible to launch missiles and locally-made projectiles. But Israeli drones and other tactics were eroding their ability to surprise, even in urban areas. City fighting has become more difficult for the militants.”

“I expect public order to completely break down soon and an even worse situation could unfold including epidemic diseases and increased pressure for mass displacement into Egypt.”

“This comes as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled their homes and have been displaced. While the Israelis are chalking up battle plans for the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the reality is that there is no safe place in Gaza at the end of day 58 of this war. It is worth noting that the Israeli military has not shown huge military achievements or accomplishments, but rather what we have seen is a dire humanitarian catastrophe that has unfolded inside of the Gaza Strip.”

“There should be a complete ceasefire so that the humanitarian aid can help alleviate, even if slightly, the suffering of civilians.”

“In the event that Israel cannot take Hamas out, the fissure between the two Palestinian political groups will deepen. Hamas would remain standing, a valiant hero for Palestinians for fighting Israel, and the PA [Palestinian Authority] would appear weak, shamed for cooperating with Israel over the years. That would kick off a vicious cycle of a seemingly weak PA inspiring more settler activity in the West Bank, which would erode the group's control of the territory more and more. This could be the beginning of the end of the PA.”

“Only this morning, from the Qadoura family in Jabalia, 52 people have been wiped out completely, killed. I have the list of the names, 52 of them, they were wiped out completely from grandfather to grandchildren.”

“There is no oxygen to supply the patients. All those on artificial respiration have died. We speak out to the free world. The Indonesian hospital has become a cemetery, not a hospital.”

“With winter fast approaching, unsafe and overcrowded shelters, and the lack of clean water, civilians are facing the immediate possibility of starvation.”

“Doctors, nurses, ambulances and other hospital staff must be permitted to do their work and patients must be protected. Hospitals only lose those protections if it can be shown that harmful acts have been carried out from the premises. The Israeli government hasn't provided any evidence of that.”

“The tanks are in front of the hospital. We are under full blockade. It's a totally civilian area. Only hospital facility, hospital patients, doctors and other civilians staying in the hospital. Someone should stop this. They bombed the (water) tanks, they bombed the water wells, they bombed the oxygen pump as well. They bombed everything in the hospital. So we are hardly surviving. We tell everyone, the hospital is no more a safe place for treating patients. We are harming patients by keeping them here.”

Surgeon at the Al Shifa hospital

“Shifa hospital now isn't working, no one is allowed in, nobody is allowed out, and if you are wounded or injured around Gaza area you can't be evacuated by our ambulance to Shifa hospital, so Shifa hospital now is out of service.”

“It's totally a war zone, it's a totally scary atmosphere here in the hospital. It's continuous bombardment for more than 24 hours now, nothing stopped, you know, it's all from the tanks, from the street, from the airstrike.”

“The mere idea of the PA getting back into Gaza on the back of Israeli fighter jets and tanks razing it to the ground is so obviously foolish. Abbas & co must be delusional to think that Israel is spending blood and treasure in order to hand over both the West Bank and Gaza to their incompetent regime. In fact, the Israeli government is making no secret of its plans to maintain overall control of the strip, indefinitely.”

“One of the keywords that we heard from the Palestinian president is that [the Palestinians] are seeking a 'ceasefire'… and demanding that the US seek a 'ceasefire'. That's one of the key differences… the US has said they will continue to look for humanitarian pauses… they are not seeking a ceasefire.”

“The humanitarian situation in Gaza - already precarious - has reached catastrophic levels. I am confident that this delivery will be the start of a sustainable effort to provide essential supplies - including food, water, medicine and fuel.”

“In this ward as you can see, there are children who are attached to ventilators, and now we have been asked to evacuate the hospital, where should we evacuate these children?”

“There are thousands - if not tens of thousands - of people who have flocked to the hospital. They are sleeping on the ground, in the corridors, between patients' beds. People are absolutely terrified. They think this is the safest place and everything around them confirms that. Unless there is respite there is going to be a public health catastrophe at the hospital.”

“There are severely ill people whose injuries mean their only chances of survival is being on life support, such as mechanical ventilators. So moving those people is a death sentence. Asking health workers to do so is beyond cruel.”

“Without electricity, hospitals risk turning into morgues. The human misery caused by this escalation is abhorrent, and I implore the sides to reduce the suffering of civilians.”

“Today the rage of Al Aqsa, the rage of our people and nation is exploding. Our mujahedeen (fighters), today is your day to make this criminal understand that his time has ended. Every day the occupation storm our villages, towns and cities in the West Bank and raid houses, kill, injure, destroy and detain. At the same time, it confiscates thousands of acres of our land, uproots our people from their houses to build settlements while its criminal siege continues on Gaza. In light of the orgy of occupation and its denial of international laws and resolutions, and in light of American and western support and international silence, we've decided to put an end to all this.”

“I emphasise our commitment in Hamas that we will not take a single penny earmarked for rebuilding or humanitarian issues. When I said we do not take money destined for aid, this is because we have comfortable sources of funds covering our activities.”

author
Leader of Hamas

“Hamas will undoubtedly reject any intervention or supervision by the PA [Palestinian Authority], whether it is regarding the reconstruction itself, or as a mediator that may receive the funds needed for reconstruction. There is clearly a severe level of miscommunication between authorities in Ramallah and in Gaza, especially in terms of agreeing on what the damages sustained are, and what programmes are needed to overcome this.”

“It is true the battle ends today but Netanyahu and the whole world should know that our hands are on the trigger and we will continue to grow the capabilities of this resistance.”

“It is absolutely essential that the crossings are open. These people don't just need essential items, they now need vital humanitarian assistance. And Israel needs to give assurance that these items will be given safe passage. No deliveries can be made while the bombings continue.”

“We are shocked and horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing AP's bureau and other news organizations in Gaza. The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today. This is an incredibly disturbing development. We narrowly avoided a terrible loss of life.”
