Israel/Palestine Thread

It looks like Donald Trump has got a legitimate ceasefire. Wow

 is only Hamas leaders in Qatar and others who don't want the deal

Where did you hear that?

Though I do condemn war crimes, regardless of who commits them

V watery sentence that SeanW. What warcrimes do you condemn Israeli politicians and military for?

Think once israel gets the hostages back, much needed political respite for Netanyahu, then they'll find an excuse to resuming the bombing killing and genocide as usual.

Who would have thought that once they stood up to Israel and used the US's leverage, there could be a ceasefire ?!

Shame on both Trump and Biden for facilitating two years of genocide.

A country that deliberately starves people to death can never be trusted.

Dr. Akihiro Seita, UNRWA’s director of health and a co-author of the study, warned that more children would die unless fighting ceased and aid was allowed to flow freely. “Unimpeded, competent, international humanitarian nutritional, medical, economic, and social services” were urgently needed, he said.

The study concluded that two years of war had resulted in “enormous nutritional consequences” for tens of thousands of children. Researchers analyzed arm circumference measurements of 220,000 children aged between six months and five years, collected between January 2024 and August 2025, when a UN-backed panel formally declared famine in parts of Gaza.

Wider context

In early 2024, about 5% of children showed signs of wasting, a key indicator of malnutrition. That figure rose to nearly 9% six months later. Following the imposition of severe aid restrictions by "Israel" at the end of 2024, wasting nearly doubled by January 2025.

A brief six-week ceasefire that allowed more humanitarian aid into Gaza brought some improvement, but conditions worsened again after "Israel" enforced an 11-week blockade beginning in March. Although restrictions were eased in May 2025, wasting levels among children surged to nearly 16%, with almost a quarter suffering from severe acute malnutrition, the most life-threatening form of the condition.

Researchers estimated that across Gaza, more than 54,600 children under six now require urgent nutrition and medical support, including 12,800 who are severely wasted.

Hate saying this but Trump winning the Nobel peace prize on Friday would probably be a good thing.

If he wins it and Israel restart the bombing he will look like he was hoodwinked and won’t be happy.

If he doesn’t win it and Israel resumes the bombing he probably won’t be bothered.

The aim was to return the hostages, take 365KM2 of land held by a rebel militia with a modern army funded with billions of support and all they could achieve was to level the place while indiscriminately exterminating tens of thousands.

US military support in 2 years, at least the arms companies shares went up that's about all it achieved.

Definitely, he deserves credit. That deadweight Biden achieved sweet FA with Israel between October 2023 and January 2025…..useless President.

Mod Edit: Warned for ignoring mod instructions

Is everything agreed now with the ceasefire?

So all the people who have been killed are being used as human shields or are being shot by Hamas?

You're really making no sense here.

Hopefully this cease fire holds, peace can be achieved and Bibi gets tried at the ICJ for his actions.
